Days are getting a little shorter, nights are getting a little cooler, water temperature dropping bit by bit, bring on the transition period of September and early October, lets get done with the excellent fall bite after that and await the ABSOLUTE BEST ACTION OF THE YEAR. Yes that is it, Alberta Clippers, Hats, Gloves, Layers after Layers of clothing, frozen rod eyes, frozen line on the reels, snot running down and freezing in the mustache, not one single jet ski or skier on the water, no big party boats jamming their favorite tunes causing wake after wake just because. It is just me, my 10' FNF rod, 1/16 oz jug, bobber on my favorite point or bluff over that deep water grass bed at Dale Hollow lookin for the BIGGINS!!!!! I know there are many here that will disagree and spring time at KY Lake is a close 2nd, FNF fishing at Dale Hollow Lake is my FAVORITE time of the year.

Now if I could just hit this Powerball thing and move to Celina to FNF every day from the last week of November to the end of February, then move to KY Lake for March to August, Take September off to spend time with the wife and kids, move to Jamestown for the topwater Striper action at Cumberland, then back to Celina for FNF in November, I would have my whole year planned out.
