Big M area 11/23

[Quillback]

Cold, cloudy and windy was the theme for today. 

It was very slow fishing for most of the day, tried the Ned rig, deep fishing with the spoon, Rock Crawler and a spinner bait and only caught a few shorts and one keeper smallie that ate the Ned.

Around 1:30 PM, I was just about ready to quit, pulled into a cove that had the wind blowing directly into it and thought I would throw the Ned on a couple of rocky banks then be done for the day.  I threw it a few times, got a couple of bites but the wind was blowing so hard that it made it difficult to fish that light bait, decided to throw a Deep Little N.  Got the boat parallel to the bank over about 8 FOW and started throwing the DLN letting the wind push me down the bank.  Had a pretty good stretch of fishing for about an hour, boated 10 bass, mostly largemouth and had a few others on that got off.  No bigguns, but several keepers.  Wish I could have done that all day.

Water temp was a bit cooler, 60-61.

The duck is still standing by the ramp.

fishing is somewhat like deer hunting.  never know what hour the deer, or the bass in this case, are going to show up or at least finally find them.

Thanks Quill for report..

It rained here at house on and off all day then it got really foggy for a bit so i stayed home.

That DLN is NOT a fish catcher, so nobody should ever throw it.

Thanks for the report Quillback.  

And I am serious about not throwing that DLN....

Bo, the deer show up at 4:00 pm on Sundays. Not sure about the bass.

Gets dark at 5:00 these days. Gotta be there at daylight to get in a decent day of fishing.
