Big M area - 11/08

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?

Colder weather is just one of those things to deal with. Layer properly. Bring spare clothes and have a plan of what to do BEFORE you fall in. 

Time for me to get all that stuff ready again.

Hmm.  

Conversely, it usually takes me a few trips to get conditioned to NOT GOING OUT THERE IN THIS CRAP ANYMORE!

I think my "acclimation" days went out the window after a few years of fighting fires in the middle of ice and snow storms in northeast Kansas.  

Wind, ice and 15 degrees is just flat out no time to be outside playing with big hoses!
