The Frontier Sports Fishing Report, August 22, 2014 Fishing slowed down dramatically last weekend. What with the rain showers, thunder storms and the cold front that ensued, all taken together, this made for tough fishing conditions. Water temperatures dived down to 72 degrees, when the week before it was 79 degrees. Sunday was a bust but on Monday, with a lot of effort, I was able to take a few 12 inch Crappies and a few Walleye in the 16 inch range out for breakfast. Most of these fish were suspended over depths of 15 to twenty feet off the deep weed edges and hit the small LIVE TARGET crank bait I was trolling. As one might expect, the thunder storms on Sunday produced a plethora of Rock Bass. One was just short of 1.5 pounds, so no state record yet, but I still think the area lakes are capable of producing a fish larger than the record. Besides, I recently learned the world record is only 3 pounds and I believe that with an iron will and steely determination, it can be done! Both Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass continue to beat up on LIVE TARGET frogs and Scum frogs, these two lures still being the hot ticket. Large Sunfish are now being caught in several of the better pan fish lakes in the area and Pike continue to smash swim baits and cranks along the weed edges and they can also be found suspended over deeper water, ten to fifteen feet down. They seemingly have become more aggressive with the cooler water temperatures. The Bait and Tackle departments are fully stocked and the staff can help you select the right lure or bait for whatever species you are going to fish for as well as area lake information. Be sure to drop by on your way out to the lake! Thunder storms and more rain is in the forecast for this weekend but it’s all a part of this thing we call fishing and I’ll be out there anyway and hopefully you will be too! Frontier Sports features a complete and fully stocked Sporting Goods department and Bait Shop, Gas, Grocery, Deli and Gift Shop. Frontier Sports is an authorized LIVE TARGET and SAVAGE GEAR dealer.
