As water temperatures drop in Bayer Pond, fish become less active and eat less. That is not to say that fishing is over, only that you will need to use enticing baits or lures and place them where the fish are (concentrated in deeper water).

When we reach freezing atmospheric temperatures we can no longer operate the worm farm. Also, as advised by the marine biologist we will discontinue feeding the fish in early November and resume in early March. 

Continue to fish, using the prepared catfish bait stored in the east shelter or live baits purchased at Derick’s on Highway 24; just south of the dam, or at the gas station on the SW corner of the  Kimball-Tuttle Creek intersection. Deep running lures may also be successful.

Your skills are being tested!! Good luck…
