Nothing special from me, off work currently trying to get a new car. Pike came on a blade bait megabass at the end of a long cast had 8 or less single wraps on the spool. Surprised me with co poloy line. Bass came 2 hours later. It was a good day.

We started right before dark tonight and I struck first with a juicy Rainbow on a RI Skinny Dipper. Go figure. A savage Pickerel hit my 5" Fish Arrow J-Shad, but was kind enough not to shred it. My brother wrapped things up with a nice angry bass on a 7" AZ Fisher wake bait.

Got out with new Poison Adrena rod here a couple first catches. Using a supreme xt with 8# Gliss and 1/16 Rattlin ned.

 Very 1st catch 11-9-21

 

Caught yesterday 11-17-21

Got out for a little while last night. Dead calm and cloudy conditions.Had 3 nice blow ups on the bitter’s buzz’n Gator in watermelon red, including one on the first cast. This bait is essentially a swimming frog.Because I didn’t have much time, I started near my house and went up the west shoreline. I dont fish that area much, because it is very weedy and shallow . I caught 1 decent fish and a dink on the ‘ gator , and a one pounder on the rage tail cut-r.

Nothing to write home about, but I really enjoyed being on the water , and fishing out of my bass hunter. The chair in it is so comfortable compared to my Jboat , that just has a bench seat…

Two of the larger fish I caught today, out of 6 total in about 2 hours of public pond fishing. I've had days of 10 bass in 2 hours at that pond, but the last couple weeks it's been 0, 1, 2. It was refreshing and assuring to get 5 fish above a pound. All caught on a super beat up chatterbait micro, skirtless, with a BPS split-tail stik-o on the back.

 

The one with black spots was new to me, hadn't seen anything like that before. I'm guessing scars from an old injury?

Blotchy bass are pretty common for me. In Fisherman did a short article about it a while back and didn't really have any answers other than it doesn't seem to have any negative effect.

neat, that led to some interesting googling.
I've seen bass with those spots at BPS Dallas before but never caught one. Cool!

Fished over four hours this morning. Two superdinks and this one.  All on a 4” #956 Senko on a 3/0 EWG. No bites on anything else. 
 

[The Bassman]

Got two good ones on an otherwise slow afternoon, the bigger one on a ned and the other on a Rozante 77. Not sure of the weights because my scale battery had tanked.

It was Dink Day at Ray Roberts - Isle Du Bois

I hooked seven about this size, landed five in roughly 68 minutes before it was time to meet the lady for lunch. Good times.

Alabama rig ruled the day today. Water temp @ 60 degrees. Air temp 44. Caught 5 in about four hours. 
 

This 5.22 lber was the best of the lot.

I got out on the water with @galyonjyesterday, i headed downstream in search of striper . That didn’t pan out so we tried a cove and got a couple decent bass in short order. He got his on a wacky rig purple worm and I got mine on the xzone lures whiplash shad, and boy did he eat it! Thanks for great looking baits @Jim Van Ryn

Welp, thought my 3lber I posed from last weekend was a great catch for my particular lake.  I have no idea what to expect from this lake now and I'm throwing all advice I've been given about the lake and expected size out the window. So far its all been dead wrong.

 

New PB at 5lbs 1oz. She's looking a bit skinny too.

Thats a very nice looking oriole. As a lifetime oriole fan its just a big downer with the birds.

With a lockout coming this spring i dont know if i will live to see the orioles win another world series or break 80 wins in a season.
