You are right. I didn't notice the difference. 

Was the water muddied up from all the rain? I’ve had some good luck in the rain with a spinner but after the rain In muddy water can get a little tough

Slightly turbid. The local Trout Unlimited's work shoring up the banks with large boulders and planting trees to keep erosion at bay means mostly clear water year round. They do great work. Real problem is the leafs. Everywhere the water slowed or made an eddy tons of leafs piled up and I couldn't get my spinner through without snagging a couple. All in all I was happy to catch the 2 I did enjoy reliving some of my youth.

Sometimes you wish you had a pool skimmer out there.......

I tried a jerkbait for the first time today didnt catch any bass with it but managed a couple recently stocked trout. Also got a perch with a 3" keitech paddle tail.

Spent the last 3 days chasing steelhead with the fly rod.  Nothing of great size but great numbers,  the shoulder and forearm are going to need a day or 2 to recover.  A lake run brown was the icing on the cake.

Water temps too cold for bass anymore in Minnesota, so switched to do a little Muskie fishing before ice up...

Actually caught two... magic day - -

Caught a dinner for my wife on my crappies pole. Too bad I only brought with me just that set up. A nice fun fight with UL rod, but gotta find better hook for these Tiny Fluke.

Multispecies day Friday. Also had a walleye, some wiper, and some drum that weren't photographed.

When I launched the boat this morning, air temp was 32 and water temp was 41.

I was not expecting a lot of action.

surprisingly I manged to catch a couple dozen 1 to 2 pound bass on a Jerkbait,  a dropshot, and ned rig.

 

Bass were not the only thing biting today. these three chunks gave my ned rig rod a workout.

Somebody out there is putting them to use. I wish I knew who it was, I could really hook them up.

I saved a couple this summer for my neighbor. He said they taste like redfish. I had to clean the live well afterwards. They leave a pretty strong stink.

I thought bass fishing is hard, it even d**n harder fishing for crappies. I have to fish super slow and the bite is super soft just one super tiny tab and it is gone. As of now I only fish double rig(dropshot) to learn how to feel the bite. I wish spring is coming soon and I might even skip pre-spawn bass this year. Anyway today only caught two from shore, still small not slabs.

Caught my first walleye today! One 17” and one 18”. They’re good fighters; I’m excited to get back down to the Delaware and catch some more.

Good looking fish. I have always heard they don’t fight well but I can remember 2 or 3 that fought me like the devil. One was this summer trolling , surface temp was 82 and a 20” walleye slammed a crank and fought like a 5 lb smallmouth

The panfish bite has been pretty decent lately, the current is raging so any slower water has fish all in it . Water temp 53-56

20"+ is where they start to put some weight on and get some muscle. I just enjoy their signature fight that tells you its a walleye. They stay down deep and somehow pump the rod, definitely no long runs like a pike or aerial display like a bass.

About that time of year, I need a bigger board  makes my 18" board look like a ruler.
