Maumee River Report and Shop News-29 August 2019

As we approach the end of summer and we start to see a little bit of cooler temps we start to think of some cool weather Fishing,  Kayaking and Hunting.  Well we are all ready for all 3 of those activities.

Cotton Cordell shallow diver-a smallmouth bass favorite here on the river.

Fishing: Cooler water is going to spark some small mouth bass , resident walleye/ saugeye , some steelhead and there are a lot of resident white bass in the river that start to get their feed on before the winter temps hit. Late summer/early fall is a time of transition for smallmouth bass, when the nights get longer and cooler.  The fish will feed longer in the shallows of the shoals in the morning and then move in and out of the deeper holes throughout the day.  During this time of the year, rivers are usually low, so target smallmouth in areas near deep holes that have current flowing into logs and big rocks. Smallmouth pretty much relate to cover and current.

Kayaking

Still quite a bit of Kayaking weather ahead of us. Swing by or give us a call to book a rental trip down the river . And now that the new kayak shop is open we have some sweet fishing and cruising boats in stock. Its gonna be really cool to float down the river and check out all the  fall colors from the changing leaves.

Shooting/Hunting
