Well, the season didn’t go as I had hoped. I came down with bronchitis early in September, which kept me off the pier on some really good mornings unfortunately. The days I did manage to get out were still productive. Seemed to be more fish around this year than the past couple, which disappoints me even more than I wasn’t able to hit it like I usually do. All in all it was a fun month. It’s time to hit the woods, but I may scrape out one more outing and try to get two more to make it an even 30. I hope you all have been having a great season. Here are a few of mine👌🏼.
Some friends recently asked if my wife and myself would like to come over and hang out the first Saturday in November. I just started to laugh. I told them we don’t make plans between September and January 😂
What a great first hunt for my middle child! We saw 7 bucks and 4 does. She was loving life. After the plot cleared we had two big does still in the plot right before last light. My daughter told me to go for it. She also told me to go for all 7 of those bucks 😂
I would continue to hit the 80-120 area with 1 1/2oz jighead a and a 4”white paddletail or 1 1/2oz to 2oz jigging spoon or blade bait. It can be done. Get a drift bag to slow your drift.
Took some friends out last night. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but ended up finding 43 degree water down 60 over 100. It was the first time for these kids, so I rolled out to 120 and dropped two gambler rigs to the bottom. Grabbed a couple lake trout right out of the gate (one nice 16 pounder) and the switched over to kings the last hour and a half to 2 hours. Ended up 2/5 on kings. Lost two matures. The one hit meat on the diver down 65 and came right to the surface and jumped 7 times and finally threw the hook. The fish was really dark already too. It’s that time of year! Fished 100-140 all night
