Windy and cold seemed like the perfect time to go after a huge coal burner bass. 

the stack was smoking and anticipation was high. Making the last 5 miles seem like an eternity.

say what you will about burning coal to produce electricity. to an eastern Kansas  bass fisherman, this is a vision of beauty.

Water was warmer than I expected. Still hovering around 59 degrees on the cold side of the lake.

Morning started off decent with a light west wind. caught several smaller fish topped off with this 3 pounder on a swimbait. not the trophy I was after, but better than getting skunked.

Late morning a strong cold wind started blowing from the north and I did not get another bite.

 

although the big fish did not bite, it was a good morning of fishing.

Maybe the trophy will come next time.

Had a great morning full of beautiful spots that have been gorging on 1.5-2" threadfin. Seemed like every one of them puked up at least a few near and/or in the boat and it's in need of a garbage can and vacuum. Love this time of year when things align.

Today, November 4th, Hudson River was cold and a strong current with the dam open. Fished the current for awhile and nothing. Found a spot where the current broke around a point and was able to land a few nice Smallmouth Bass and a Big Perch.

Very happy to still be catching fish in November.

Started out this afternoon determined to improve on my spinnerbait game. Cloudy, cool , and nice ripple of breeze again.Got 2 on it in probably an hour. Gave up and started with the zoom pumpkin lizard , to follow last weeks pattern .Good bite with them for another hour or so, except none on top . 20181104_163716-966x1288.jpg20181104_165015-966x1288.jpg20181104_165027-606x808.jpg20181104_173707-606x808.jpg20181104_175652-966x1288.jpgJust like last week, I started for home and fished the good eel grass beds on the way. Ued a new yum dinger color ( alabama bug? or craw ? )Anyway the fish were all over them, I caught 3 fish on consecutive casts. 

Caught 12 total.

The pics are not in sync with the story this time for some reason

Got out on Saturday to one of my favorite local ponds. It had been cold and raining constantly for the previous couple of days. Took the water temp which showed 46 degrees. Overcast and intermittent rain showers with a slight breeze. Did not think I was going to catch anything.

 

Started with my Vision 110 Jr casting laterally and working it slowly along weed lines that transition to deeper water. Saw nothing and got no bites.

 

Moved down the shore to a flat with depths between 4-6 feet and decided to throw out my swimbait (Biwaa S Trout.)

 

After about 10 casts, I had an 11 inch Largemouth absolutely smash it around 10 feet from the shoreline. Caught 2 more this way and lost another before finally having to leave.

 

Fished a slough down river of this pond and stuck a small hammer handle on the Vision 110 Jr. 

 

All in all one of the better November days I've ever had!

Thanks, Nah this one is pretty far from me, unlike the one earlier (August) that was super close and we could see fire from our backyard.

Glad you're well.  Wouldn't want to lose you.

Was feeling poorly all day today. Got home from church and thought about fishing but just didnt feel up to it.About 45 min. before dark I couldnt take it any more and decided to fish off the dock. Caught some bream, a catfish, and caught some nice bait sized 'gills. 

And the end result was this 5 pound, 12 oz. fish. She was just a hair under 24 inch.20181111_182709-966x1288.jpg20181111_182715-966x1288.jpg
