Latest Catch Pics Thread

I caught 10 today in the cold rain all between 14 and 17 inches.   9 spots and one LM.  LM was my last of the day, on my last cast.   I had something to do today at noon so I only fished from 7 until a little after 10.   The bass were back shallow on flats and shallow points hanging at stumps.   Most were on a shakey head.  Lake is still down, about the same.  Rain is just a drizzle so won't help water levels much.   Water temp is 63.  I don't remember what it was last week.  Hopefully I posted it in this thread.

They're still eating at least at one pond. I caught this chunky girl on a 1/16oz Ned Rig with a Megabass P5 Criffhanger and a Daiwa Millionaire CT with #08 PE line and 8lb leader.

Been pretty nice, thank you

 

Looking for redemption tonight past dark and I actually just fished out a jig from my box 5 minutes ago that looks a lot like @Pat Brown's.

@Pat Brown: Gorgeous bass, Pat. 

 

What a mouth on your bass, @FishTank!

 

I got some great news this yesterday morning. I had some blood work done on Thursday and my doctor called to say that I'm quite anemic, which explains why my energy has been so low. I remember rolling my canoe for thirty yards across a flat field this summer and panting. I also remember staggering out of my canoe after a few hours of fishing. The fix is an iron supplement and in three weeks to three months, I'm supposed to regain my energy. I know my iron level isn't exactly about catching bass, but it sorta is.

I'm glad you've got some answers and I hope you feel better closer to that 3 week mark rather than 3 months

In-line spinner fans represent!

👊

 

Oh yes. I have over 60 Mepps. And a number of Rooster Tails. When all else fails. Throw on a Mepps. Or other spinners. Fish bight them not to feed but either curiosity or a defensive bight. Not sure what it is but they want it out of their area. Who knows why? But they do bight them. 

 

Question for you inline guys. Do you use swivels? I have but I don't see them really limiting line twists. And I think they deter bights. I will fish with one on and not get a bight. Take the swivel snap off and then get bights. And I use the smallest I can find. But on the small ones, the swivels don't seem to work well. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks.

[Swamp Girl]

I use a ball-bearing swivel with my Mepps. I think they're more likely to work than the cheaper ones.

[padlin]

I’ve tried swivels with Mepps, where I fish they ended up being just another thing to catch weeds. If I direct tie to braid I have little if any problem with line twist on a spinning reel.

 Took a trip guided trip up to Clear Lake three months in the making only to run into some really tough conditions with those Florida stain bass having locked jaw. A couple days later I got out on the delta trying to make amends. Water temps in the low 60’s, an incoming tide I wanted to see if there was still a punch bite and throw some jerkbaits.

 Pulled up on a mat that had a couple of egrets working a little ways down the slough. A couple of pitches later I put a healthy green fish in the boat. Then a couple of state boat roll in directly across the slough from me and begin spraying the mats filling the air with the smell of herbicides. That’s when I bailed on this spot and went to find some jerkbait fish. And I did find some willing fish to complete a nice fall  day on the water.

I managed to boat 6 today.  5 were between 14" and 18".  I didn't measure the smallest one, but I guessed it to be 12".    The little one was up a creek, the rest on stumpy main lake points.   The little one came on a crank, the other Spots on a Shakey head.  The lone Largemouth was on a jig.

Pat Brown and Team9nine are the Carolina bass machines.   Pat catches huge bass regardless of conditions.  Team9nine was catching a bunch of nice bass, then moved into my back yard, and keeps catching a bunch of nice bass, as well as other species.  

 

Speaking of sail boats.  They had some kind of sail boat meet, race or something today.   (I was fishing near a Yacht club)   They took off down wind to a pylon, around half of them made a nice turn at the pylon and headed back into the wind.  The other half kept going with the wind.   If I had a sail boat I'd have a motor on the back.   Thankfully there aren't any Orca's in Lake Wylie to sink them.

Went down to Tampa area for ten days for work, took a couple of rods with but was only able to get out once for a little pond-hopping close to the hotel. Caught a handful, including a 3lber, and hooked into a huge bass that I thought was a carp at first until she came up. Sadly the hook pulled when she went under and changed direction. I don't want to be the guy saying "it was a frickin' ten pounder bro!!!" but I wouldn't have been surprised if she would've beat my PB, she was a big girl. To add insult to injury, I broke off that chatterbait evo a couple of hours later.

 

This evening was the first trip out since I got back home Friday night, nothing insane but did get into a decent jerkbait bite, biggest of the trip was this 5lb 12oz LM. I thought she would've weighed a bit more based on her length but she was definitely pretty skinny for this time of year.

 

[NorcalBassin]

Headed over to Clear Lake for a couple days and it did not disappoint. Incredible amount of bait pretty much everywhere and just about every bass had a belly full of it.

 

 

Pops getting into the action...

 

 

 

Seems like every time out he catches a "Papa fish" as the grandkids call it. 😆

 

Water quality wasn't too bad anywhere we went, but it was strange seeing the surface green up with the wind being uncharacteristically absent. Gave the boat and trailer one heck of a bath when I got home!

Caught the only fish I saw today

[Pat Brown]

Dang nice fish everyone.  Glad to see folks catching em.  @Aaron_H I seen what you catch, I reckon it was probably close to 10.  I did get some of those Thunderhawk Sergeant lipless cranks to try and I have very high hopes!

 

@NorcalBassin those are some studs!

 

Jake was real proud of himself on account of catching his first fish on a buzzbait and wanted me to share with y'all.

 

 

Not only did he catch a topwater fish the day after a cold front in the middle of November but he also caught the only fish we got into the boat yesterday.  I'm real proud of Jake too.  🙂

First cast in a work route pond got this one, on a 10 inch june bug worm . Not sure if it is a ol monster or a culprit.

Interestingly, this pond is in a park that used to be an old friends farm. When the suburbs got a couple miles away , they thought it was “too citified “ for them anymore , so they sold out and moved to Georgia…

Please tell Jake that he and his dad aren't the only ones proud of him. We all are too.

In about 10 years, I have no doubt that Jake will out fish the both of us combined.   

You can't buy or learn time on water from such a young age, and you can't buy or learn that true love of Bass fishing, the Basshead factor.    Every hall of fame pro I know of was obsessed and chasing Bass from their earliest memories.    

 

Great job Jake! 

[Bankbeater]

I hiked all the way around a 50 acre lake without a bite just to catch my only bass right by the parking lot.
