Go fishing the wife says, okay I say. 2 minutes in and the deer flies were all over me, windy and weeds galore. Go home I think, but I can't disappoint my wife by not fishing, so I stay, spray some Of...

It has been rough for me on the west side, this year. Only managed 1 today for 3 hours of work. Got him on a 7" worm.
Got a few other nibbles, but very lethargic bites this year.

Bass are starting to get active in the shallows. Only ended up with 3, but it's still better than a skunk. Water Temps were in the low 50's.

Fall fishing, weird weather patterns, didn't have much optimism heading in to today, but as always, a day on the water is better than yard work.
Only had a few hours, but I'm trying to force mysel...

I keep fishing this lake in search of some big smallmouth, but keep coming away disappointed as of late. Wind was an issue but so was my patience.
Only managed 1 in 4 hours on a Texas rig. Had a fe...

Good day and only one other boat, always a bonus. As always, wind was a factor, but still found some coves to hide in.
Bouncing jigs worked best with a few caught on dragging worms atop the weeds.

Just a fantastic day, if you like weeds. But the fish were hiding in them and hungry, so it was a decent trade off.
Water levels have been dropping quick, so I figured I could get in one last time ...

Tough day with gale force winds blowing my little 8 footer around. Tried to find some calm coves to hide in, but there was just no escaping.

Had to visit Cabelas for a new boat plug, so decided to make it even more worthwhile and head out and fish a bit.
Started in pond 4, making my way down the highway side, casting jigs and plastics. ...

Hard going today, except for the last hour. Pulled in 10 total. Largest was a 3#er LM and just over 1# SM. All others were between the sizes pictured. Good day all in all.
