Awesome......well done.

Love the deep spoon bite...

impressive.....

nice!

Awesome guys......glad you got to go.

Good job.....I can't wait to go again. Been WAY to long....

well done gentlemen.....I hope to get out there soon. Thanks for sharing.

I launch at both all the time without any problems. The north ramp is better during really cold weather because it thaws out faster.....

Sounds fun.....good job.

Awesome....... Love the jerkbait bite. Glad you caught 'em....

Nice .... well done Dan. I had to work all day. Couldn't wait to get home to see who all went.....Glad you were able to get out.

Awesome.....

Ok bfishn.....now my head hurts. I just want to know if the fish are biting or not......🙂

Hey Straw Hat....thanks for the scientific input. Its been a LONG time since I was in school but I have fished every fall for the last 45 years. Whether it starts to turn over, or the temperature equalizes from top to bottom, or whatever is going on, when the water temp drops below 50* is usually when I have noticed the grey dingy water, sour smell, and tough fishing for a week or two. And.....I thought it was at 39* that it stopped mixing. And that the water on the bottom would remain around 39* as the surface freezes. Otherwise, if it continued to mix, it would freeze from top to bottom at the same time......I am going to research this again.

He doesn't know what he is missing for sure. I've had some cold weather trips where a spoon was the only thing I fished all day and absolutely loaded the boat. For some reason many bass fisherman are too proud to throw it. My goal when I go fishing is to put fish in the boat.......spoons are famous for doing just that. I ain't too proud.....I'd throw a vienna sausage if I thought it would catch fish......just sayin'.

50* is the magic number for the lake to START turning over. It will get skanky looking and even smell weird sometimes....

The guys at The Marine Repair Center in Springfield do an excellent job with electronics as well.....

Well done Dan......I can't image NOT wanting to drop a spoon. They are an awesome fish catcher.

Oh my gosh......it is so much fun when they start bunching up deep. Looks like you guys flogged 'em pretty good. I am going to try to go to the Rock the week after Thanksgiving. Thanks for the report.....

Awesome freefallin......I was hoping somebody got to go today. I knew who ever went would be wacking them pretty good. I sat out in the truck at work today eating my lunch with all the windows open.....it was absolutely gorgeous out. Glad you got to go and glad you caught 'em. Thanks for sharing......

Dan....I subscribed to your youtube channel and watch you videos all the time. You ain't got nothin' to be envious about.....you catch lots of fish too. Always good to hear from you. We plan to be there again next year Deadstream.....come join us.
