Big M area, 11/16

[Quillback]

Another day, another foggy start.  Air temp was 36 when I launched and I saw 81 on the drive home. 

No wind and a bright blue sky after the fog was gone, lately that has been a recipe for tough fishing, but today was a better day.  Fish were biting well in the fog and it tailed off some once the fog burned off, but I could still find some bites.   All on the Ned, except one I caught on a tube.  Rocky banks without wood worked best, one of those banks was halfway back in a cove, the rest were main channel.  Caught 25 bass, 6 keepers, but small keepers, none over 16".  Mostly spots, I think I caught 3 largemouth and something like 4 smalls.  Got a couple of walleye, one short and one just at the 18" mark.  Decided to release Mr. Walleye.

Most of the fish were close to the bank, not right on it, but usually in 5 -10 FOW.  Water temp was 64 to start and was up to 66 when I left.

Nice report Quillback.  Glad to hear you spanked some today. I hope that means they are breaking up some.

I was home today instead of teaching. However, I was home for reasons that prohibited going out. Glad you had a good day.
