KVD with a St. Clair Smallmouth

There is no better bait for catching big fish this time of year. We’ve got a lot of fronts coming through and those weather changes tend to invigorate the bass. We also get a little more wind and that makes spinnerbait fishing even better.

The bass are moving off the deep structure and onto the flats. Instead of cruising the deep weedlines, they often suspend on the grassy drops and are moving toward shallower water.

Michiana bow hunters were greeted to a double-edge sword when their season opened this week.

On the bright side, there’s the decent weather in the forecast, and more importantly, an early crop harvest which is driving some deer out of the cornfields.

On the downside, there’s that nasty EHD virus that likely will reduce the size of the herd in many areas of Michiana.
