Bob's Best Bets 
September 1, 2010         White Bass good at most lakes with good surface activity at most of the lakes.  Wipers are surfacing in the evenings at Milford.  Gulls are beginning to show up helping find the surface feeding fish.  Chumming for Catfish at area lakes remains good.  Wilson is still  the best lake for keeper size Walleyes (15 inch size limit) Crappie fishing has slowed down at Glen Elder but anglers still catching fish on main lake brush piles using minnows.

Other reports     Catfish anglers have been doing good when the rains have put flow in the rivers and creeks.   Ponds picking up for Bass and Catfish.  Outlet areas at local reservoirs good when water is being released. 

September 1, 2010 It's been a hot summer and with cooler weather just around the corner, it's easy to get enthused about the upcoming months. Lots of hunting opportunities and the fishing will improve with the cooler weather.
Dove season on September 1 is the official kickoff of the fall hunting seasons. Soon to follow is the youth Deer season on September 11 then early muzzle loader and archery Deer seasons start on the 20th.
Upland bird hunters will have the early Prairie Chicken season starting on September 15. For those wanting to hunt with a dog for chickens, this is the best time.
Squirrels and Rabbits are in season and some hunters do very well shooting 'limb chickens'. As the foliage disappears, Squirrels are easier to spot.
Waterfowl hunters have the early Teal season opening is most of the state on September 11. Several public marshes in this area will load up with these early migrants. Cheyenne Bottoms, Jamestown and McPherson all offer great public hunting.
Fishing opportunities improve as the waters cool and the fall feeding spree of many species gets into high gear. Ponds are the first to start cooling off and anglers going after Largemouth Bass and Channel Catfish can do very well.
State Fishing Lakes will also be cooling and most offer good fall angling. Those lakes with good Crappie populations can be good in late September.
Reservoirs that were dominated by pleasure boaters and personal watercraft in the summer months, now become more hospitable for fishermen. The fish also are more cooperative.
Surface action for Stripers, Wipers and White Bass is at it's best during September. With Gulls in abundance at most lakes, finding the surface feeding fish is a lot easier. Missouri fish finders also help when you are on the lake.(Binoculars).
September can be a good month for multitasking. Shoot Teal in the morning at a local marsh and then catch some fish in the afternoon.
Last year I was able to take a Buck with my muzzle loader in the morning and spend the afternoon chasing Wipers. Doesn't get much better than that!


F.Y.I
Mountain Lion goes through Kansas this past spring.  Young male Mountain Lion with a Colorado Division of Wildlife tracking collar made his way into Kansas from Colorado.  He was in far western Kansas March 2nd to March 26.  
Click here to hear the audio file of our interview with Matt Peek, research biologist with Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks about the tracking of this Mountain Lion.
Map below shows the track of the Mountain Lion through June of this year.   

  
Paul Bahr of Ellsworth with new state record Striped Bass caught at Wilson reservoir.  Fish weighed 44 pounds. 
New state record Smallmouth at Milford.  Frank Evans of Salina caught a 6.88 pound Smallmouth that measured 21.5 inches.  Fish was caught on the dam.
 
 
Crappie breading using instant mashed potato flakes.  Great for Crappies as it does not over power the delicate flavor of the fish.  Roll the fillets in flour and then dip in an egg wash.  Roll in the potato flakes.  Fry till golden brown.  Salt to taste after taking from the oil.
