Didn't want to get off the water today!

But I only had a few hours. I couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise today. Calm, warm, and the scenery was great. I was able to trick a few fish into biting also.

I started out vertical jigging, due to the floating leaves, sticks, and weeds fouling me up. Didn't get the size as a few days ago, but some decent smallies.





Then I found some clear water to troll in, and picked up a bit more.





And finally, I stopped at a spot that I've passed way too many times. I only had 15 minutes left to fish, and picked up these 4 on my 1st 4 casts. Then the wind picked up all of a sudden, and I couldn't coax another 'eye to bite. I'll definitely put this spot in my memory bank.





Hopefully we get a few more nice days before the boat goes into hibernation.
Thanks for looking.

I had time late pm up on the cats Esopus tues and again later on wed. fishing was slow but still enjoyed the warm weather. Going to try and get up again this weekend or early in the week! 91.3 was playing awesome tunes I never heard before, that radio station is now my favorite up there!

    I know what you mean Hook. I got to take advantage of the nice weather for an hour or so after work today. I only managed to boat one smallie, BUT it was a bruiser!

    Measured in at 19 1/2 inches!! Weighed about 3 1/2 pounds!!

    Actually no not this go round. The water was covered in leaves but there was this one open spot near a downed tree that I like to hit on my way up creek. I usually throw a frog around the trees but I was tired of missing fish. So today I went with a Zara Spook and it did the trick. He must of been a hungry smallie cause he blew up on it first and missed it and came back to finish it off!

    Perchy, I hijacked Jimmy's thread on the Hudson River water levels with those pics.

    When hell freezes over, I'll fish there too.
