Species
Largemouth BassTechniqueLipless CrankbaitsSeasonFallStructureBaitfishSuper slow day with the coldest night we had all year. We found fishing in the back of coves on flats where shad were.

Only one for the day. Nailed. Fluke just off the bank in about 2ft of water. Bass are chasing bait fish. Hard to get them to target a bait when there are so many bait fish for them to eat.

Stoking the blade with a yo-yo retrieve. Seemed to work. Was a one-off fish and only caught the single from the bank. No Kayak his time around. Just junk fishing.

Was just taking a lunch break and figured I would see what I could catch. This little guy just happened to be there the right time. Didn't have much luck at first with a slow approach. I burned it through the water quick with the 8.1.1 reel and then paused for a few seconds and that is when he hit it.

SaugerTechniqueNed RigsSeasonWinterStructureDocksActual bait was a 6th Sense Clout worm in the Merthiolate color I just cut in half and added to a 1/6th ounce Zman Ned head. Don’t see that on the list here, but there it is. No bass biting today and was surprised to have this guy bite. Would have been nice to catch a limit on these for a fish fry, but gave up due to rain. Have not caught a sauger in years, so that was even more of a surprise.

Bite is getting harder and harder. Water is very low. Hoping for more rain soon. Shad are not as active as they were. Happy Veterans Day to all who served!

Smallmouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonWinterStructurePilingsWeather has been rainy and nasty. Figured I would give it a shot and see what I could catch today. Caught this one right up near the bank on the jig. He hammered it and swallowed it practically.
