Found Them Good Today 10-16-25

[Bill Babler]

Let me reiterate I’ve never caught fish in September and early to Mid-October like I have this year. 

Today they were back on the channel swing Locations with the wind, 15’ to 35 feet completely thru the water column. 

Caught them on a flutter spoon and a 2.8” Keitech in Gizzard Shad. 

About 10 am they went to the bottom and we started dragging a 1/2oz. FB jig. They simply ate it up. 

Since Bo has passed I can get away with strolling the FB jig.   This time of year that technique is deadly. 

Neighbor and I had so many 15” to 17” K’s today it was insane. 

Don’t know if you follow Eric Olliverson but that dude is hammering them.  Walleye,  K’s and Jaws. Looks to me like he is fishing the dam.   I know he has been taking 3 trips a day.  If you want to get healed in a hurry and see where they live. I’d see if he has an opening. 

I know he is mostly fishing crawlers to catch that many walleye, but regardless it would be a total blast. 

Surface temp at Shell Knob was 77 when we put it on the trailer with 6-8 ft. Visibility. 

If they’re not on the swings in the morning we’ll go back to the piles  and lay downs. 

The-wind helped us today.
