Good fall/early winter so far.

The wife and I have made quite a few small bank fishing trips over the last 3 weeks. While the crappie fishing has not been record breaking it has been fairly decent. We have been catching 8 to 15 crappie per trip. Not bad for bank fishing. In addition, we went to one of our best channel cat over wintering holes yesterday. We caught 15 channels with only one a small one. They ranged from 1 1/2 lbs to 8 pounds.  Our best cat day in several years. Most places had 3 to 5 ft visibility, good stain to the water and a fairly constant water temperature around 50 to 54. Great weather to be out on the lake. I hope all had a good and safe Thanksgiving. Good fishing to all.

Good fishing there.  I’ve been trying to get back to dipping but every time I try to go the wind is too strong.  10 mph is about max for me holding a specific depth and fishing ledges.

Do I know what you mean Dutch. I have a pontoon boat and the wind just kills me.
