I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

Monday I was up north scouting some hunting land when I called waterfoul to talk about some rods. Just so happend that he was out fishing on a lake about 10 minutes from me so we joined up on a different lake "my favorite of all time" and Waterfoul took me to school. I have been pretty sceptic about catching fish right now but not anymore. Mike pulled some toads I think 4 or 5 that where all right at or over 4 lbs. If you have those pics you should post them mike. all in all it was a great unexpected day on the lake.

Pics are on my computer at home... but lets see if this works:  this was the biggest at 4 lbs 11 oz and 20 inches.  All my fish came on a DT6 (other than the one I lost on the drop shot! LOL!!!)  I would also add that all the fish we caught SLAMMed our baits.  Very aggressive and very fat fish.



This one went 3 lbs 11 oz.

Are they still killing all the weeds on the lake? Or letting some live?

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

During the summer they pretty much kill every weed thru most of this particular lake.  But this time of year there are actually some weeds in the lake.  All our fish pretty much came on the breaks in around 8-12 feet of water.

I dont think they sprayed this year but it sucks that they are trying to turn a great fishing lake into a boating lake. How did you know the lake mr. K.

djkimmel

I have spies everywhere... ;D

Never been on the lake. It's a part of the state I am woefully behind in my research on.

Hmmm... big largemouth bass... okay. ;D

I'll add it to the list with Reeds Lake. Now that I think about it... I didn't even make it to Hardy this year? How did that happen?

Well, you didn't miss much at Hardy this year.  In my opinion Hardy sucked this year!!  Many, MANY other lakes fished MUCH better.  Like Reeds... and Chris's "secret" lake!!

November is my favorite month to fish!  Two quick trips to a little lake I fish only in the late fall has already produced a 5-4, 4-14, and 4-8 largemouth. Caught well over 100 smallies up north this past weekend too.  Weighed lots of 4's and a half dozen 5's  ;D

djkimmel

I was just wondering if your late fall fishing had started Bryan. Answers that question!

I just figure you are planting your fall crops on the "farm."  LOL!!  Most of my fall trips are on Mondays... take this coming Monday off and we'll head up there!

Very tempting - maybe I could. I'll call ya Sat to discuss.

Down to just the goats right now. No new pigs till April. This seasons pigs, chickens and turkeys are in the freezer! In fact we had BBQ pulled pork sandwiches last night!

My barn addition is well under way. Now have an overhead door and can park my boat in it. The new camper lean-to has the roof going on as we speak.

Sweet... I'll bring my boat over so you can store it for me!

You can't store your boat yet... the lakes haven't froze hard! Of course I forgot you fish a lot on Mondays.

Hey Mike, if Marc can't make it, I might be able to get away for some fishing.   ;D   Then I'd owe you TWO trips  lol

Waterfoul

Well, I have at least two fishing trips yet... Sunday and Monday.  Not sure on where yet, but at least one of those days will be to the "secret" lake.

Fished Reeds this morning... one pike, one dink bass, one 15-16" bass.  All on small jigs.
