Don’t Shoot Fox Squirrels! Dear GON, Since my youth I have thoroughly enjoyed hunting, fishing and nature. I like to consider myself a naturalist (novice) since I have an interest in not only hunting and fishing, but I enjoy watching and learning about the various plants, animals, geology, and their relationships with each other.

Features: Lake Weiss Shallow Bite For October Bass 10 locations for shallow, aggressive bass. The Gun Season Opening Day Has Lost Its Luster For Deer Hunters Long seasons, liberal doe limits and a stronger focus on the rut seem to be reasons why opening day has become just another day.

If you like fishing for bass around shallow cover, Lake Weiss is like heaven on earth. It is full of grass, logs, stumps and rip-rap. This month bass will be using the shallow cover to feed up and get ready for the winter, and you can catch them on anything you want to throw there.…
