Fall bass fishing requires
different thought process
By SCOTT SUGGS
Fishing in the fall is all
about dealing with the tran-
sition. The shallow water is
cooling, and bass that previ-
ously
found
comfort in the
cool confines of
the deeper water
don’t mind mov-
ing shallow in
search of food.
Those big
schools of sus-
pended fish have
slid higher in the
water
column
and migrated to
the
shoreline
points and inside
turns. Baitfish
that spawn in the
fall are moving
into the shallow
flats covered with
vegetation and bass are fol-
lowing right along.
Fall is a time of transi-
tion, and anglers must adapt
to find fish. When I’m set-
ting up a fall profile my
main considerations are sur-
face water temperature and
available deep structure.
When the cool nights
drop surface temperatures in
the shallow bays and along
the shoreline structure to
levels that the bass find fa-
vorable you can give the
mid-lake structure a break
and target that shoreline
cover and structure. From
68 degrees and cooler I
know that the bass that were
hiding on the deep mid-lake
structure will once again be
utilizing the shallower
shoreline regions.
When fishing shallow
cover and structure, antici-
pate that the fish will be
spread out. Those tightly
schooled pods of fish that
you held the boat over the
top of just a few weeks ear-
lier are busted up in the fall,
and individual fish are me-
andering, looking for a bait-
fish.
In a situation like this
it’s best to use techniques
that allow you to cover
ground and strain the water.
Deeper structure will tend to
consolidate the fish better,
but don’t expect to find big
schools of fish as you did
earlier, even on the deep
stuff. Every species, includ-
ing the baitfish, are in a mi-
gration mode.
Try Carolina rigging a
Berkley PowerBait 6-inch
Power Lizard or a 10-inch
Berkley Gulp! Turtleback
Worm around deep structure
like rockpiles and ledges.
If you can’t find the bass on
deeper structure, try going
shallow, by using a spinner-
bait fished parallel to the
weed or wood line.
If that doesn't produce,
don’t be afraid to slow down
and use Texas-rigged 7-inch
Power Worm and cast it
close to the structure that
should hold bass. Just re-
member, the thicker the
cover, the heavier line you
will want to use.
Summer may be behind
us, and many people might
have football and hunting
season on the mind, but
there are still plenty of big
bass to catch. The fall bite
can be a tough one, espe-
cially if you can’t figure out
the transition period. But
once you get it down, you
should be able to go catch
bass anywhere while every-
one else has their rods and
reels put away.
(Scott Suggs is the 2007
FLW Champion and the
first angler in professional
bass fishing to win $1 mil-
lion in a single tournament.)

Rocky Mountain Goats
Rocky mountain goats
are doing very well in the
N.E. Oregon area, according
to reports. There is a con-
tinuing relocation program
where goats are transplanted
to new locations annually.
Herds in the Wenaha drain-
age, Hells Canyon, Eagle
Cap Wilderness and Elk-
horn and Strawberry moun-
tains number approximately
650 animals.
As with bighorns, hunt-
ers lucky enough to draw a
tag have a high success rate.
It is said that tag numbers
for 2007 will remain the
same as last year.
Cougar
“If you’re a cougar
hunter, this isn’t a bad place
to be,” says Brian Ferry, of
the Ochoco Mountains re-
gion. Cougars sometimes
stay in one general area if
there is a year-round prey
base, but more normally
move seasonally with the
deer and elk herds.
The best time, he ad-
vises, is November through
March when deer are on
their winter ranges and
you can narrow down the
area where cougars are
prowling.
That advice also holds
true in the northeast part of
the state, which has some of
the strongest cougar popula-
tions. In addition to hunting
winter big game ranges, it’s
suggested that if you happen
upon a cougar kill, you can
stake it out downwind and
wait.
Cougars will visit a kill
at least once a day for about
a week, usually in early
morning or evening. A cou-
gar kill is hidden under piles
of brush, leaves and other
materials with drag marks
leading to its location.
There also have been a
number of reports of cou-
gars confronting hunters,
probably attempting to keep
them away from a nearby
kill. If you encounter such
a situation and have a cou-
gar tag you may harvest the
animal. If you don’t have a
tag, you can shoot it in self-
defense, but you can’t keep
it and will need to prove that
your action was necessary.
A third option is to back
away slowly with your coat
open to appear larger. There
are strong warnings against
running, since this may pro-
voke the cat to instinctively
attack.
The mountain country
of the High Desert holds
good numbers of cougars as
well, but locals who can get
out right after a new snow-
fall for tracking have the
advantage over out-of-
towners.
The more heavily for-
ested areas of the Cascades
and Coast Range are much
more difficult to hunt and
fewer hunters target cougars
there. However, experts say
that persistence and calling
can pay off.
Youth football teams final contests
on calendar Saturdays, Oct. 13, 20
Illinois Valley youth
football players will play
their last two games of the
season on Saturdays, Oct.
13 and 20, on the I.V. High
School football field, said
Christine (Coach Cricket)
Alvarez.
She and her husband,
Dane, are coaches for Boys
& Girls Club football. Their
4th/5th-grade team will play
at 11 a.m.
Anyone can attend the
games; there is no admis-
sion charge.
A 6th-grade team will
play at 9:30 a.m.; and the
2nd/3rd-grade team will
play at 12:30 p.m.
“Come and cheer on
our next generation of
IVHS football players,”
said Alvarez.
