Return to Story IndexFALL FISHING
PATRICK MCMURTRY GIVES US SOME FALL FISHING TIPS IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE REPORT. 30:52 "There he is!" Jerod Harman is one of the best bass fishermen in the state and he knows how to slay the bass in the fall. 1:59Jerod Harman/2008 WV Mr. Bass says: "You can't forget about fishing in the fall-the fish start feeding, getting ready for the winter and the action really fires up. 2:15 They're gonna try to put on a little extra weight, 2:22 getting more aggressive, they're chasing bait fish and the action gets pretty hot." But to get a mess of fish in the fall, you have to be willing to try different techniques until you figure out what they're hitting on that particular day. 3:18Jerod Harman/2008 WV Mr. Bass says: "Today we're probably going to be looking at throwing spinner bait, crank baits, they'll be chasing the crank baits and occasionally, you'll get a fish come up and not quite commit to a spinner bait, so we'll take a slow falling bait, put it in there and see if we can entice it a little bit." 36:17 "There he is." That one did commit, in a big way and Jerod didn't miss. Here on Sutton Lake, the large mouth and spotted bass are hitting. Finding them is the fun part. 4:57Jerod Harman/2008 WV Mr. Bass says: "There's times you may see a huge ball of bait fish in 60' of water and there are fish suspended under those. Other times, the bait fish are going to be right up on the bank. A lot of times, the fish are positioning themselves up there waiting and you need to give a real tight presentation with whatever lure you're gonna be using buy it back out and at that time they're gonna wolf it down." It doesn't get any better than that. For West Virginia Wildlife, I'm Patrick McMurtry, Eyewitness News.
