I think this might be the first time I have seen Bass in one of your reports. Your a machine for all species. Well done dude !

If you're going to travel to Florida, why on earth would you spend your time fishing for buckets when there is such incredible saltwater fishing there? Its the same reason why people travel all the way to British Columbia to fish for steelhead. Why bother when you can catch as many steelhead as you want here in ditches

" hookers and drug dealers for miles " sounds good to me !

Couldn't get out on Saturday due to family obligations. With 30km winds in the forcast and a high of only 8 degrees we knew the bass bite woulkd be shut off. Decided to target pike. Boat control was tougher than normal but the fish were biting well. Boated plenty of pike on jerkbaits. Here are our 2 biggest

Nice fatty !

Nice Mike ! That's the stuff I dream about Would love a trip like that one day. 16 years till retirement

Congrats to your son. A nice muskie for sure !

Not sure if Im answering your question here but my best pike lakes have a huge populations of giant smallmouth as well. I believe they can co-exist on the same lake just fine

Got out for a couple hours with my son this weekend. The kid absolutely smoked them. I couldn't get a bite on the jig. The fish only wanted the senko. On Sunday he boated 13 in 4 hours and I boated 3 On Monday he boated 11 and I boated 4 Here are the 2 biggest. Around 3.5 pounds ?

Steve, I find that the more subtle jerkbaits like husky jerks and rouges work better in the late fall as oposed to the more eratic jerkbaits like x-raps and lucky crafts longer than normal pauses too. Good luck this weekend !

Thanks Guys. I really should try cranks in the fall. From here on we will start to get good largemouth bites on jerkbaits though. Water temps were around 60- 63 degrees. A couple of fish were shallow but the key was that they had deep water close by. Many fish were near their summer spots ( shallow bays ) but they seem be hanging out in the deeper weeds just outside of the shallow bays. 8-10 ft or they were on rocky points adjacent to the shallow bays When the water starts to drop into the 50's typically we will target 8-12 ft depth with suspending jerkbaits, jigs and senkos. During the warm spell we just had in late September the days I went fishing there was little to no wind. Fishing was tough as hell but ended up getting a few good bites instead of numbers ( which is fine with me ) That was the day that I found a good dock bite. also seemed to be holding on deep wood.

It looks as if the boat will be put away a little early this year and the 2014 season will come to a close shortly. Priorities change and parental responsibilities kick into full swing by mid October. Once bass season is underway, thoughts and dreams of flipping a jig and pig clutter my mind. Largemouth love I call it. Everybody has their favorite fish to chase. For me its hunting largemouth. This season was a different season for sure. With the late and unseasonably cold spring, the lakes that I fish seemed quite different than I am used to. Fluctuating water levels and limited weed growth in the places that I usually fish had the fish spread out in not so typical locations. A tough season for big fish this summer for sure. I did fish a few times this fall on solo missions and got out with a couple of non-fishing friends that truly enjoyed just getting out. You know the fishermans saying " one more spot ? " Our saying is " one more lake ? " It is not uncommon for us to hit 3 or 4 lakes in one day, running and gunning to all of our hotspots. Enjoy a few pics from this fall. Two good ones from a new lake Two good ones from two different lakes that day Another new lake near Kingston A fat largie off a tree Found them under docks that day A nice fatty ( not me ! ) Hero shot ! Although Im typically not a Muskie fisherman ( I don't know why ) This fish was the highlight of my fall. As we got closer to the launch at the end of a really tough day, I decided to fish one more spot. A rivermouth with a steep current break. The sun was going down and I was throwing a flipping jig into deeper water hoping for a big largemouth. BAM " fish on ! " A 46 inch fall fatty fought like mad in the current as my boat spun in circles in a back eddy. drag loosened off on the flipping stick , the fish was hooked perfectly in the snout. A great landing job by my buddy, she was in the boat. Hopefully a couple more trips this year if all goes well. I will report back if any big fish get boated. Thanks for looking !

Years ago I gave my wife 2 options. Option 1- I tell her Im going fishing. We get into a huge fight over it. I go fishing anyway Option 2- I tell her Im going fishing. We don't get into a huge fight over it. I go fishing anyway The choice is hers. Usually she takes option 2 Pretty simple

Saw one 10 km north of Coboconk this summer on the way to the lake. Never saw one that far south before.
