(Poll) Fall: Hunting or Fishing?

[MicLee]

What are you guys doing in the fall? I might sneak a quick hunt in here or there, but I'm mostly still fishing, chasing after a big girl walleye.

I added a poll for this.

Hunt

 

[CatDaddy]

Blast and cast

 

[Vollmer]

I'm going to hit the soft water hard this fall.

I dont' plan to winterize the fishing boats until November. The Jet Ski and Pontoon can be put away at anytime as far as I'm concerned. We have a youth doe tag to knockout, and then start chasing roosters in October. If we have some weekends where it's going to be 70-80 degrees during pheasant season, I'll gladly skip chasing those running mother F'ks and go try to rip some eye's instead. This year with only a couple doe tags in the house, I'll have most of Nov and Dec to chase birds.

I am hoping to get some good fishing in before it gets too cold. Then go shoot some deer and then let the water freeze fast so we can get on the ice ASAP.

I wish I did more fall fishing because I love the lack of crowds and cool days, but Oct and Nov are really the only months I put the rods down to focus on hunting. I can see myself trending more toward fishing those months as I get older though. I used to hunt Sep-Dec.

A few years ago I realized that boat ramps are never posted! Gave up the guns and never looked back. I still love opening pheasant and deer, but for a different reason.

Fishing...and then a little more fishing!

Female this time, right?

 

[Victory]

Bit of both for me, but I seem to lean fishing the older I get.

What is the go to tactic in fall for eyes? I always tell myself Im gonna try in the fall but usually end up bowhunting or chasing birds

I run jigging raps or cranks, but later into fall I’ll be using a jig again.

Do they run shallow again? alot of deep weeds in my area this year, prairie sloughs

 

[Vollmer]

In my experience, they’ll be deep for a bit yet, then will move up shallower again.
Someone correct me if they have a different insight on this.

Prairie slough might be completely different. Almost all of my fall fishing is on Sak and the Tailrace.

I seem to find them in the deeper holes this time of year on the pothole lakes, but that's just me. I'm no pro by any means.
