THE BOAR REPORT MIKE ARNOLD- The BoarsHead Bait & Carryout

Boar’s Head Report Mike Arnold, Owner 724-1211

Howdy Everyone, Fall is here and it is a great time to fish or hunt, whichever you do, both are very good. The crappie fishing is on right now, look near the back of coves. Use minnows, waxworms, grubs and jigs for bait. Strippers have been found around the campground beach, use chicken liver and white roostertails, also Tonnellmill largemouth bass, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, catfish nightcrawlers, and bait.

Hunting has been good with some nice buck check ins so far - 21 pt., 15 pt. and a couple of 13 pt, 12 pt around 400 deer checked in so far. With the rut on we should see more come in.

Youth hunt is November 20th and 21st, gun week is November 29th thru December 5th and gun weekend is December 18th and 19th. Muzzleloader week is January 8th to

Generations of anglers began fishing as kids by using simple canepole rigs. Some even used a long stick, a piece of string, a cork, and a fish hook. Today, basic fishing equipment is more sophisticated, but still easy to use. Here is what you will need as a beginner learning the fundamentals: RODS and REELS: For most young anglers, a 5 to 5 1/2 foot, light action fishing rod with a spincasting reel.

Howdy Everyone, Fall is here and it is a great time to fish or hunt, whichever you do, both are very good. The crappie fishing is on right now, look near the back of coves. Use minnows, waxworms, grubs and jigs for bait. Strippers have been found around the campground beach, use chicken liver and white roostertails, also Tonnellmill largemouth bass, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, catfish nightcrawlers, and bait.

Hunting has been good with some nice buck check ins so far - 21 pt., 15 pt. and a couple of 13 pt, 12 pt around 400 deer checked in so far. With the rut on we should see more come in.
