Quillback Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Another cold and windy morning, talked to a guy that came down to his dock to check out his boat and he told me that it was 41 degrees at his house. It did warm up later in the AM, but is sure felt good at the end of the day to be in the truck with the heat on. Fishing started out pretty slow, tried a few places that held fish Monday, but they didn't pan out. I scratched out a half dozen by noon and stopped on one last chunk rock bank that always holds fish in November and it gave me another 9 or so in about 45 minutes. They were all Ned fish, and the earlier fish were split between Ned and a 1/2 oz Nutech Grass jig. The later fish were up pretty close to the bank, 5-10 FOW. Earlier fish were deeper in the 10-20 FOW range. So it turned out to be a decent day compared to what I have been catching, 15 total, 2 keeper smalls, and some spots that were chunky, but I doubt if any of them made the 15" mark. Only caught one largemouth. Definitely location specific, I fished a lot of marginal water with only a bite every once in a while. WT 60-61. Meanie? A different colored smallie. Ye olde TR 14" spot.

abkeenan Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Great report and nice pics. That Ned looks like it's been wet awhile, has a nice spongy bloat to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to several experienced Table Rock fishermen over the last couple of weeks and they are all talking about how tough it has been the last couple of months.

Dave gets all hot and bothered when he sees pics of Zinkerz in that condition. Football season should be just about over. About time for Mr. Wonderful to get back on the boards. crazy4fishin and Quillback 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water is getting clearer by the day, that I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
