LOL ~ Hardy.  

Don't own it or know the first thing about it.  

 Besides, Photoshop can not save me from that hated feeling I get from . . . . . . . Jambalaya.

Usually, I'll fish right up through November. But with the truck in need of some TLC, I decided to call it a season and put the boat up for the year. But not before one last outing! I really wanted one more good fish to end the year on.

The fall season is in full swing here, with the daytime highs not even cracking 70° and the nights dipping well below 40°. With a strong cold front moving in, I was hoping the fishing would be hot. The pickerel were certainly active. I boated 10-12 big picks, with another half dozen coming off at the boat. But I wasn't there to catch pickerel!

In between the pickerel, I boated one 2lb bass and had another come off boatside. We started to head in, as the temps were dropping fast and it looked like rain. On our way in, we stopped and fished a mid-lake brush pile that sticks out of the water. I pitched a @Siebert Outdoors grass jig with a paca craw trailer deep into the brush pile. I felt it hit branches, then bottom, then a hard thump. I set the hook, and stuck the good fish I was hoping to end the year with. This 4lb football-shaped girl should be the last fish of the 2016 season for me!

Awesome

The WVU bass fishing team hosted a tournament on stonewall Jackson lake on Saturday. In between blast off and when I had to bump fish at the weigh in, I did a little bit of kayak fishing. Nothing big but a pretty spot and a 2.5 largemouth were the highlights.

Some shots from the last couple days on the water and my last regular tournament of the season.  Started out chasing smallies in practice, but the sunny/breezy conditions went away and we had rain and calm winds for the tournament day so I leaned more on largemouth.  It was sort of a grind since the dams weren't moving any water at all, which is usually the kiss of death on this lake/river.  Managed to put together a 12lb limit (3 LM, 2 SM) and take 2nd place .

This is probably the coolest fishery I get to fish...You've got 'traditional' largemouth fishing - flipping, grass, wood, etc...Then there's great smallmouth fishing on the main lake/river...Then, if you're brave enough, you can run far up river and get into true river smallmouth fishing.  Add in the great scenery and the fact that there's quality sized fish of both species and it makes for an awesome place.

Couple of decent fish from this past week. 4lbs even on the short stocky one and 4lbs 10oz on the longer skinny one.

I have the 300 for one of my swimbait rigs. Amazing reel. If i could afford more I certainly would add another couple.

Another decent fall bass. (1oz shy of 4lbs)

[WIGuide]

Didn't have a whole lot of time to fish this weekend, but still got into a few decent fish.

I caught 2 today fishing the Ned Rig for the first time.  One tiny smallie, and I believe a rock bass?  Can anyone verify that it is indeed a rock bass?  Never caught one before.

Caught my first chatterbait smallmouth today. 15" which is darn good for the Mon River in Morgantown. 2nd biggest I've caught fishing the river several times a week since August.

Nice ~ Congrats

Looks like something took a bite out of crime .

Last official tournament on my schedule was the FOBA Classic on Lake Anna this past weekend.  Had crazy changing conditions, 85 degrees with no wind on my only practice day...Front moving though with rain on the first tournament day...And sunny skies with 20-30mph winds on the second tournament day.  Swing-head, spinnerbait, and skipping docks produced my fish both days.  Weighed in 10-11 on day 1 and 12-5 on day 2 which was good enough for the win .  It sucks that the season is over, but it's always good to close it out with style!  May get down to Gaston for team event in November also, so we'll see if I can keep the momentum rolling...

Spent four hours on the river with nothing to show but a microscopic spot that somehow pinned himself on the trailer hook of my spinnerbait. Made a stop on my way back to the dock at a spot that usually will produce a walleye at dusk, but this guy found his way to the 4" swing impact instead! Any day on the river in Morgantown that you catch a bass over 12" is a good day. Man, I need to get home for thanksgiving and remember what bass fishing is.

Slow day, very few bites, but I pulled this guy in on a lipless ghost shad rat-l trap(which has been my go-to lure in this pond for the past month). And it's a PB(I'm guessing 3lbs--other estimations welcome--I have yet to buy scales), so I'm happy.

Apologies for the angle, a passerby snapped it. 

[shimmy]

Holy smokes batman, did someone just guess a weight that legitimately looks like the weight without using a scale? I see a good future ahead for this man.

One of two better bass that I caught at Dale Hollow this weekend

[mllrtm79]

Broadkill River east of Milton DE last weekend, the Stripers are in town  

Custom silver lipless crankbaits... Medium baitcasters make catching these a lot of fun.

3 today. 1 decent. Caught my previous one's sibling.
