First Bowhunt of Fall Finally got into a stand last night, 30 minutes to hunt before dark. I had three small bucks and one doe in bow range. The biggest of the three bucks was a well muscled 2 1/2 yr old 8 pt that would already score 115″. Rifle season is booked up at AP, but right now I…
Three Cold Fronts The third rush of north wind and high pressure has knocked the fish off of the summer pattern that had prevailed since mid-May. Normally the first cold front of the year moves the pattern around and knocks a hole in the bite, but I suppose the cool summer weather made the fish and the bite more resilient…
September Report Fished a couple of times over the last 10 days. 8/29 I fished with Scott Kentner, who was an AP guide for several years. In the early going Scott was better than me at working the worm deep, and boated three fish before I had one in the boat. I finally quit jacking my jaw long enough to…
Last Summer’09 Update? Two out of state anglers arrived at AP this Thursday and were met by cool weather and some good bass fishing. Cool, dry air finally pushed the rain out of our area Thursday morning and overnight lows dipped into the 50’s. Dry north wind signaled the arrival of Canadian air, which always makes my stomach ache when…
August Update Got on the water this morning (8/9/09) at 8:00. I boated seven bass in two hours, five of which were keepers up to 3 lbs. The first three fish came on a 10.5� worm and the last four were on a jig. I fished my chartreuse crankbait for about 20 minutes without a bite, but did not really…
One Big One Did Not Escape July was very kind to us. The weather was cool by summer standards and regular showers have kept the lake full and running water. The weekend of the 18th was particularly good for a pair of anglers who each boated fish over 5 lbs, one that weighed 9 lbs. That fish brings us into…
Hot Weather Good For Fishing???? Hot, stable weather always gives way to great summer fishing on Three Mile Lake. Each morning has been bringing good action on plastic worms and an occasional topwater bite. About 9:30 there is a lull in the action as the fish seek shade and oxygen, then about 10:30 the bite begins to pick up, particularly…
Big Lure = Big Bass This week turned out to be a business wipeout as most of our booked trips were cancelled due to an assortment of maladies. Fortunately I was joined by my life-long fishing partner, Kevin Morris, and his son Brian for a couple of days of fishing. We got on the water Friday evening for 2.5 hrs…
