Big M area - 11/06

[Quillback]

Went out yesterday in the cold, wind and drizzle.  I was hoping for a crank bait bite, but in spite of trying pretty hard to get them to bite it, all I got was one 12" spot on a crank.  Switched to my usual fall back when all else fails baits (jigs and Ned) and started to get a few fish.  Nothing earth shaking, but got 10, mostly on the jig, a few on the Ned.  One keeper smallie, one short largemouth, and the rest spots, a couple of those being right at the keeper mark.

Mostly deep fish in the 10-20 FOW range, had one good thunk shallow in front of some buck brush, but couldn't keep it on.

The bite was a little better than it was a few weeks ago, maybe because of the weather.

Surface temp was around 62.  Water is getting clearer, I would estimate maybe 4 feet of viz.

Quill, thanks for the report. I’m happy for you that you got out. It’s been about a month for me but now I’m ready to try it. I might get out later this week. Nice picture.
