Secret Word

"Slonch Donkey"

Good luck and enjoy the 70 DEGREES on Sunday! I really hope mine isn't spent in the yard...

[RuddyDuck]

I am hoping to get out this weekend and wrestle with a few "Slonchers "! If not regular donkeys will work too. Sounds like the weather should be good for fishing.

Ah leave the yard work! It will still be there come Monday.

[Juan Grande]

Getting out tomorrow. Will hopefully have a slonchy pic posted on Monday.

[RumRiverRat]

I will be hitting it hard this weekend.

Heck I am posting this while Musky Fishing.

iPads are awesome!

Dragging Suckers is rather mundane work.

[Hester]

I will start it off.

Not easy to get the fish to cooperate for photos.

1 was 20.75 and the other was 20.5.

The big one was 6 pounds even the small one went 5 pounds 7oz.

Fished from 8:30 to 12:30\

9 fish and my big 5 went almost 23 pounds.

[Juan Grande]

Nice fish Hester!

[RuddyDuck]

Holy Slonch Donkeys, those are some nice bass!

I made it out today from 11 to 2. Ended up with 9 bass in the 15-16inch range. No Donkeys but still a fun day. They were all caught on lipless cranksd near weeds in 6-8ft of water. Hoping to get out tomorrow afternoon and get a few bigger ones.

dang hester. Couple of fall piggies there.

[Craigums]

Finally got a nice one. Again, sorry I don't have a tag I was fishing a tourney and didn't have a pen.

[TonkaBass]

Looks like you got a few nice ones! Did you win?

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Largemouth havnt been nice to me the past few weeks so I tried the St. Croix today. I fished some jerkbaits and got into some decent fish. One fish hit early in my retrieve and I knew it was nice, boiled near the surface and half blinded by the sun I thought it was a smallie. My heart was pumping until this came up along side the boat...

biggest drum Ive ever caught, not exactly the PB I was hoping for.

My biggest smallie was around 17.5"

[jalberg]

Got a 5lb 4oz lm today but didnt even take a pic as hester's pigs blew it away. Nice fish!

[BrandonJ]

Its all i could manage, nice fish hester

[Bass4life]

Took a day off from the bow stand and duck stand and made it out to the lake for some bassin' with my twelve year old today. Fished out on maple lake. Caught about 20 bass between 1-3 lbs. On spinnerbaits and shallow cranks. Awesome time! Why can't October last about 3 months??!! Fish were all caught in less than 5 feet in the remaining weeds. I know it isnt over yet, but started the winterizing process on the boat when i got home. Cant wait til 2013.... Time to get serious in the bow stand.

Saturday I caught 22 all kinda small biggest maybe 3 lbs. Sunday went to a different lake caught 16, biggest 5 went almost 26 lbs. Biggest was 5 11. Caught an 18" that went 4 1/2. Fat fish.

[bassfshin24]

Hit up the big pond again. The big fish werent as stacked up as they were last weekend but did get into a few. Biggest of the weekend was caught by my brother-in-laws girlfriend which went 4lbs 9oz. I ended up with a 4lbs 8oz smallie and 1 that went right at 4lbs. Caught quite a few that were between 2.5lbs-4lbs.

[RuddyDuck]

Nice sheephead, that's the best one of the bunch! Looks like lots of nice bass caught this weekend.

So I had a win-win yesterday, I was able to get some yard work done around the house and still hit the lake in the afternoon! Got there around 3 and was slow for an hour or two. Then it picked up and was once again a lipless crank bite in 4-7ft with weeds. They were a little shallower this time. Ended up with 19 bass and a 6lb bonus pike. Most in the 14-16 range, but I did improve from Sat. and got one a little over 18in this time. I forgot to put the darn tag on that one. I also noticed the bass were pretty fat, they must be eating good right now.

[Hester]

Got a 5lb 4oz lm today but didnt even take a pic as hester's pigs blew it away. Nice fish!

Thanks guys, it was fun day to say the least.

I caught the 2 big girls less than 5 minutes apart.

I missed the 6 lber the first time but she gave me another chance.
