Big M area, Nov. 15

[Quillback]

There was a bunch of boats out there for this time of year.   Usually with the start of firearms season for deer you might see 2 or 3 boats on a Monday, but I reckon because of the hunt for Johnny's money being this weekend and this being practice time, well they were out there in force.

Speaking of deer season, I heard several shots through out the day.

The fishing was decent at least as far as numbers, but mainly a spotted bass show for me which doesn't lead to any big fish.  Caught some deep fish early, pretty good bite for a bit then it faded away, drop shot with a Zoom Finesse worm is still getting bites.  Fish were in the 30-40 foot range on gravel.

I also spent a fair amount of time throwing a jerk bait and Ned towards the bank, caught fish, they were scattered, one here and one there kind of thing, main lake and inside a cove or two.  Caught my usual one short walleye on the jerker.

Also tossed a Rock Crawler for a bit, no bites on it, didn't use the secret red color and paid the price.

WT - 59.
