Walking the bank

[Quillback]

Now that the weather has cooled off, I like to get out now and then and walk the bank and fish.  With the water level at 1120 there are miles of bank around the lower lake you can walk and fish.  No boat to tow and mess with, just need one rod and some ned baits.  

I banked a couple of keeper sized smallies on the ned and had a couple get off.  They were off the bank a bit in 15 FOW or so.  Hard fighters on the light rod.  Pulling drag and jumping.  Should get better as things get colder.

Nice smallies Jeff! Sounds like a fun trip.

Nice smallies.

I got out yesterday, last trip for the year. Put in at prairie Creek.   Found them schooled up on main lake structure.   Spot locked and got about 30.   Mix of smaller striper, LM and spots.   Didn't move the boat.

Here was the graph. 

Fun day
