darsky Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 Well,the forcast was for sun & cloud and a high of 12-so when the call came in to go bassin on wed,I jumped. We headed off to the lake around 7 am and were wetting lines by 8 15ish. First smallie came abord after my tube was in the water for maybe 45 secs.......what took so long? The second came not long after that,then the third.I could see it was going to be a tough day.By noon we had caught & released 20-25 bass ranging up to 4.5 lbs. Anyone that thinks that bass don't fight in cold water-may be right.But fortunately for us these bass forgot about being in 45 degree water.Each and every one pulled hard.MOST jumped and some jumped 3-4 times. These bass were super aggressive and have been that way the whole month.Drifting current areas over rock humps were where they first were and after we pounded those areas we headed shallow to cast tubes and rip jig them through weed/rock areas.By 1 pm it felt more like mid May than almost Dec. It was incredible to experience this kind of action in this kind of weather at this time of year.We reveled in it and soaked it up.By 4 pm we decided to call it day with close to 50 bass landed,many more missed-4 walleyes up to 4 lbs loved the tubes as well. This was an all around special day and also my last time on the water till next Spring-just awsome.Pics will follow
camillj Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Wow sounds like quite a day ! No pics ???
Ron Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Nice report Darsky. One thing I didn't do enough of this year wa bassing. I didn't even get out once this Fall for the huge and vulnerable Smallies. Like you said, they seem to put up the best fight this time of year.
Greencoachdog Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Ya gotta love days like that! It makes all the poor days disappear, and the poor days make days like that even sweeter!
fishindevil Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 nice bass fishin,report sounds like you had a blast
kennyman Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Wow, I dream of a day like that. I can't wait to see the pics. I can live vicariously through you. Where were you fishing?

Rich Clemens Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 After 50 bass .... I'd call it a day too. Great report.

Whopper Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Great report and those are some of the best looking smallies that I've seen in awhile. Beautiful markings. Thanks for sharing. Whopper
madtekniques Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Great report and nice pics. A day of fishing like that makes up for all the long hard days and more!
bpsbassman Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 A Bass Fisherman's dream. Great report and pics!!!! Thanks
Bly Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Haven't caught smallie in years but I do remember how much I enjoyed their attitudes! Thanks for the pics, very nice! I have to agree, a day like that makes life a little sweeter and the skunks fade a away... blyght
jediangler Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Great report, and some awesome smallie pics. Those walleye weren't too shabby either. Thanks for making my morning
darsky Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Posted December 1, 2006 thanks for the pic posting help Roy. Guys-I have been catching fish like these since thanksgiving-a real treat.Pike,walleyes and muskies are around too.All these fish came from the St Lawrence near Montreal. Those that put your boats away early are missing out on days like these. Looking out the window right now-I see how timing was crucial.
ehg Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Awesome report! Your lucky to have such great fishing so close to a metropolis ( Montreal). good stuff, ehg
