Slow cold day w/ a few good fish.

Since my Saturday plans fell through (was supposed to be in CT) i made a few last minute calls last night. Santaman was up for hitting some water this afternoon. We didn't even get out until 10:30 or so, still cool, but sun was out.

We leave launch, i start right out with a jig on the out side of the weed edge. On my 3rd drop something did not feel right, so i set the hook and boated a nice LMB.


Just a short while later Paul pick this one up on a top water frog, still alot of thick pads.





I was like sweet, it's going to be one of those days.


Man was i wrong, we spent hours with nothing. Missed a few jig bites, picked up a few shorties (jig & spinnerbait) ... and a very small smallie hit a jig. VERY SLOW afternoon.


As we made our way back to the launch i noticed a nice tree that extended a long way into the water. Couldn't pass it up ... and was rewarded with this nice jig fish ...






That was it, when the wind was calm it was very nice out (just not often enough) there was a good breeze going most of the time, and it was cold

Really winding down up here

Good to see there still biting - all me cold weather went up in smoke in the fire - so Brian what size thermals are ya ? 

You certainly get around! Heard that finger lk. has nice rainbow and is the cleanest of the FL .. i want to try whitney point from shore before ice.. anybody ever fish that place ?  anyway i am glad all still catching fish and having fun.

Reel Force-
 
While I was trying to keep from posting this on the internet- the follwoing statement might be applicable right now:
 
You left a pair of your underwear at my house after the party this summer.  I left them out front for a few days, but the Center for Disease Control came by and hauled off the shorts while wearing HazMat suits.
 
Otherwise, I would get 'em to you to resupply what has been lost.
 
And oh yeah- I will get in touch this week.  Been 'in the woods' for awhile and work has me really busy.  I am only back in NY for a few days and then off to Houston until next Tuesday.  Yes, it is my 'busy time' again.
 
But I had all summer to screw around, and I am still fishing every night when I get home to the lake.  The walleyes are really turning on, the smallmouth are still biting, but the largemouths are virtually non-existant.
 
I may need some help from you cold-weather cowboy fans to pass along some suggestions.
 
Anyway- hope you guys are doing GREAT.  Won't be long until the auger comes out, but my boat will be at my dock until I pull BOTH out sometime at the end of next month.  Water is still clear and hasn't turned over yet.
 
Some good fishing ahead, Gentlemen...  Good fishing, indeed...
