Bass_Fanatic Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Fished yesterday from 8-5. Caught right at 50, biggest being 8lbs. We caught em good until 10, then didn't get back on em until 2. We fished the bank for an hour without a bite, then went back offshore and started catching. Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 15, 2015 Author Super User Posted November 15, 2015 Awesome Bass_Fanatic! Where (structure/depth) & on what? Quote
RCCA Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Congrats Fanatic! Way better than working on a new duck blind! lol Quote
RCCA Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Speaking of ducks, any of y'all duck hunt on The Bend? If so, how is it? Sure would be nice to hunt there so I could fish too! Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Awesome Bass_Fanatic! Where (structure/depth) & on what? We caught fish from 15-35ft. Found lots of em in 30-35 ft but they were a little harder to get to bite. Caught em on swimbaits, spoons, and dropshots. Most fish were related to channel bends. 1 Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Speaking of ducks, any of y'all duck hunt on The Bend? If so, how is it? Sure would be nice to hunt there so I could fish too! ISatirday was opening day on Toledo and I didn't hear a single shot. Saw one groups of canvasback and some take Canadian geese lol. I have a feeling this is going to be the worst duck season in a long time. Where I hunt (catahoula and around Larto) is underwater. LDWF did a count last week and there were 2000 ducks on catahoula and it normally 100k+ 1 Quote
Bryanhester Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Also had a pretty good weekend on the bend !! Friday caught 25 with one that went 5 and another that went 9.03!! All of big fish caught on a swing head jig with a speed craw trailer. Numbers were caught on spoons and drop shots. Sunday was a little slower but did manage a couple around 5lbs. End of flats in 12 to 15 fow . 1 Quote
jcdogfish Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 BF, and Bryan, great reports. I stunk it up this weekend. Caught 4 Saturday morning and 10 Saturday afternoon. Went back Sunday morning and caught 5. Most fish were small, biggest 3.5. I saw a lot of bait and fish deep but could not get a bite (I'll blame it on the wind Saturday, hard to stay on a spot and fish) . Caught all my fish shallow, spinnerbait and worm. But, it sure was a nice weekend.

jcdogfish Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Hey Catt,,,Looks like a November cool breeze for this Saturday. Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 18, 2015 Author Super User Posted November 18, 2015 Hey Catt,,,Looks like a November cool breeze for this Saturday. Yelp! But I got so much going on it'll be after the 1 st before I could even think about going! Quote
RonnieF Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I'm planning on heading up Friday afternoon/evening, just in time for the front. Oh well, the air may be cold but I'll t still chase 'em. Maybe the deep fish won't be affected too much. Thanks for the reports Bryan, JC, and B Fanatic.  Ronnie Quote
FlukeJr Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Saturday should be a great day to fish. Pre-frontal, cloudy conditions will make the shallow bite explode. Wish I could go. Good luck! Quote

Bass_Fanatic Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 KKing and I went today. Caught 25, biggest about 4lbs. Fish are still deeper than most think... 2 Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 21, 2015 Author Super User Posted November 21, 2015 KKing and I went today. Caught 25, biggest about 4lbs. Fish are still deeper than most think... Still deeper than most think or moving to winter patterns? Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Still deeper than most think or moving to winter patterns? Water temp is still mid 60s so I wouldn't think they would be in a winter pattern yet, but here is a lot of shad out in 25-35 ft and the bass aren't far behind. Quote

Super User Catt Posted November 22, 2015 Author Super User Posted November 22, 2015 Hemphill, TX 36° right now 54° for a high 32° tonight Just saying Quote
jcdogfish Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 I caught a couple of nicer fish deep Saturday before the wind started. I did catch a good bit of smaller fish shallow. Like said, saw tons of bait deep in the channels and catching a few on deep flats or bars next to the channels. With that said, there's a lot of bait shallow and back in some coves. I think the fish are like me,,confused. Problem is when the bass get confused they tend to go deeper,,I on the other hand tend to go back to shallow water when I can get bit there.  OK, I need some guidance. I'm gonna bite the bullet and learn to fish a spoon.  What kind of spoon do I need for 20-30' depths. I am clueless here. I think I will take a half day trip with just a couple of rods rigged with spoons. its hard for me to pick it up when I can hit the banks with a spinnerbait and catch a few. I fished shallow water for a long time and old habits are hard to break. Quote
RCCA Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Nice job! Sorry, can't help with the spoons. Hope to learn, myself. Quote
