The fish are migrating into the creeks and feeding up on the gizzard and threadfin shad. Today we caught many stripers and largemouth on the 6th sense Flat 75x but the hot bait was by far the 6th sense Draw 9” catching several stripers and a couple larger largemouth feeding up on baby white bass.

Cooler weather + Heavy grass mats + = BIG BASS. Late November brings cooler temperatures, and with it comes a number of things- 1) Fall frenzy 2) Bass moving shallow 3) Grass mats being ideal cover. A frog is a big fish bait, and this time of year is perfect to use it.

Don't fall over that this isn't a finesse report. Today was my first time out with my new set up with Lew's Pro Casting Reel, teamed up with a St Croix Trigon Rod. And just WOW! I was bombing that Crank Bait 50% farther than anything I had in the boat before. What a difference it makes having those baits in the strike zone for a longer period of time! I love the look and action on those 6th Sense Crank Baits!!! Side Note: That bass in the picture got me to my goal of 240 bass for the year....and there's still 6 weeks left to pile on...

Beautiful fall day! I was throwing a 7.5" Culprit worm at docks and wood. I had 15 bites and caught 15 bass. Didn't lose a fish with the Mustad Alpha point 2/0 offset hook. Great hook! Largest bass was 5.5lb with smallest 2.5lbs. All weighed on my new Bubba scale.

The days of open water are numbered and these are the best times to be walleye fishing! Walleye are feeding like crazy and hitting big jigging raps (caught several on big Hyper Rattle too). Trolling Flicker Shads and Minnows bouncing off bottom on ledges was working too. The average size of the fish this time of year is modestly big and the average size fish we caught was 19in. You can catch white bass all day in 22-27 FOW using smaller jigging raps.

I found 15+ bass on hard cover, primarily laydowns. There was also some chunk rock/brick in the water that proved to be productive. Nothing huge, but still a pull on the line. All in all fun day for the middle of the November from the yak!

I was primarily fishing for bass but ended up finding a nice looking brush pile on my 2D on the yak. Found some pretty decent crappie for our area all up in that brush. Fun day!

Getting cold and this place is hard to find a bite. Got 6 using a 2.5 Yamatanuki with some new X Braid on a spinning rod. Not worried about size, just out chasing bites and having fun.

Tough bite, jerkbait and crankbait were only baits working. Fish out deep near drop offs, close to standing timber and weed lines.

With the water cold, the bite was slow. A few cold nights dropped the temp to 45F. The finesse football jig got but a few times and was the hot bait of the day. A few bites on the wacky worm as well but that seems to always work no matter the time of year.

Points with rock or brush are key. Wind blown points were better especially early and late in the day.
