Super User PhishLI Posted October 16, 2019 Super User Posted October 16, 2019 Good fishing tonight. The bigs came out to play. Almost full moon. Prefront. Chucked several baits, but the Norries Spoon Tail Shad got all of the attention. 18 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 17, 2019 Global Moderator Posted October 17, 2019 Another morning of not many bites, but the right ones. Just got this new Olive Shad RES 2 tap in the mail last week. It's test drive was successful in the form of one of the largest bass I've caught from one of the local lakes. Knew there was way too many shad grouped up in that funnel area to not be a fish on that spot. 18 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 19, 2019 Global Moderator Posted October 19, 2019 A training day Friday gave me the chance to guide Thursday. Had a father and son duo and holy cow did we catch some fish. They estimated that we'd conservatively caught 120 fish by the end of the day, and I'd guess that number is very conservative. Not sure how many doubles and triples we had, but it was a lot. White bass and smallmouth were the main catches, but also had some largemouth, spots, and drum in the mix. A 1.0 squarebill or 1/4oz RES was slaying them for the guys, I was tossing a 1/2oz RES 2tap, spinnerbait, Ned, and 5" Bull Shad. The white bass were gigantic porkers, mostly north of 2 pounds and some approaching 3. They kept a handful to try for dinner. 18 Quote
Black Hawk Basser Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I got out this morning after a prolonged hiatus. It started out cloudy and flat-calm, and managed two bites on a purple curl tail worm. After a bit, the wind kicked up, which immediately made me grab the spinnerbait rod. My intuition paid off - nabbed a nice 16-17" fish right away. After another hour of fruitless casting, I finally got the bite I was there for. The one pictured went 20.75", on a single bladed, black Terminator spinnerbait. This was easily my best of the year, and probably in my top 10 biggest ever. I only ended up with 5 fish in 3.5 hours, but I'm ok with that. 16 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 19, 2019 Global Moderator Posted October 19, 2019 I had some mandatory yearly training yesterday and wore my same BDU pants I wore in the academy and had room to spare, that was a good feeling. 1 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted October 20, 2019 Global Moderator Posted October 20, 2019 Well i finally got a bunch of dinks to break my dry spell. Friday evening i only caught 3 babies but it was the triple crown of black bass all in downtown so ill take it.....the large mouth hit a frog at dark and went airborne on the hookset. Sorry little fella it was dark i couldnt see Also lost a yellow perch. Pretty sunset Saturday i caught lots of little smallmouth but my buddy got an 18" and a 20" smallmouth while fishing close by my boat, i even got to net one . Pretty sunrise 17 Quote
Super User senile1 Posted October 21, 2019 Super User Posted October 21, 2019 The forecast yesterday evening only called for 20 mph winds and I didn't check it this morning. I hit Happy Holler at 8:00 AM, but by 10:00 the 40 mph wind gusts had kicked up and ended the day for me. I caught a short fat 4 lb'er (on the dot) and another standard sized bass before cutting out. Both were caught in 10 - 14 feet of water off of brush using a black and blue Siebert brush jig and Rage Tail Craw. I wanted to get out of the wind but the places that held the fish were out in the open. Water temperatures varied between 54 and 55 while the air temperature was 44 when I started. The surface temperature at this lake has dropped 6 to 7 degrees since I was on it 12 days ago. 15 Quote
Way north bass guy Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Had to do a small job on an island on one of central Ontario’s busiest cottage lakes. Luckily this time of year there’s absolutely nobody around. I was done work by noon so I hit a few spots on the way back to the ramp, the Rage Swimmer on a football head did well for me today. Had a huge smallie ( huge for this lake) chase and absolutely hammer it right beside the boat, was just shy of 5lbs on the digital scale, and got a fat little pike around 32” long, and lost another at the boat that was a solid 40” fish. 16 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 22, 2019 Global Moderator Posted October 22, 2019 Life got in the way of fishing this weekend except for a few cold, windy hours on a local lake yesterday. Caught them doing my favorite thing, cranking a DT6 ? First one was about my normal cranking fish. Second fish was a bit more like it. 11 Quote

finatic Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 Some of the day's catches on my new Ceymar CBF-500, which I won in a contest from Okuma. I paired the reel with a Field & Stream Tec-Lite. Both the reel and rod performed great. I caught these using a Jawbone rigged shad and Strike King's Mr. Crappie Lightning Shads. 11 Quote
Logan S Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Haven't been online much but still been fishing...Last weekend I had a good day on Lake Anna. Tournament started with a 30 minute fog delay, once we launched there was still some heavy fog out on the water so it was a little interesting driving around the thickest parts (emphasis on around, even with how accurate GPS is, I don't make a habit of driving thru the thickest stuff). Eventually put this big wall of fog behind us and got to actually fish . I targeted shallow docks and points, skipping a finesse jig under the docks and using a spinnerbait on the points and pockets. Got two key fish - these 4lbers, one each on the jig and spinnerbait. My total of 14-9 was enough to win ?. The first 4lber let me cull this fish, which is always an awesome feeling to instantly upgrade by 3+ lbs. The baits... 17 Quote
