Secret Word 11.9.12

Looks like tomorrow might be ok for fishing if the rain holds off, but Sunday will be chilly!

For those of us that are still at it, we need to seek help!

Secret Word:

"I'm Crazy"

[Juan Grande]

Wish I hadn't put the boat away. This afternoon would have been gorgeous on the lake. Hopefully some of you guys got out.

[Presco]

No sign but got into them a bit on Sat. Brutally cold with the rain/wind first thing in the AM, but turned into a beautiful day. Here is one of the larger ones of the day.

[serpent]

I went out Saturday morning. The wind and rain was awful. Chilled to the bone. Managed to catch quite a few. My dad caught a 21". Wish I would've waited until the afternoon. Oh well. Looks like this weekend is going to be fairly nice out.

[EBass]

Put the boat away this weekend since fishn' buddy said Sat was "too nasty" and it was 73 and sunny in Eden Prairie. I did bring the ice house down and getting the ice gear ready.

Saturday was cold, wet, and windy, but the fishing was hot. We had our best day of the year for overall size. Our biggest five bass weighed in at 26 lbs 9 oz. We easily caught over 50 bass with at least 20 over 4 lbs. They were snappin to say the least. I'll post some pics later tonight.

If my season is done, it was a great way to end the open water year!

Cool, what were the water temps and what was working? I put my boat away already so I have to live vicariously through you guys until the lakes freeze up

[serpent]

Awesome. That would be the way I'd want to end the year,

[kt]

Water temps were right around 42 degrees and we caught our fish on jigs and crankbaits.

[HellaBass]

Watched kids on Saturday when it was beautiful out, went fishing on Sunday against better judgement, caught'em pretty good no giants, but we boated over 25 smallies - Vinegar/water mixture froze to boat when we tried to spray boat down after getting off water, brrr...

[jalberg]

KT you just convinced me to finally start slowing down again. I've been throwing a lipless crank almost exclusively for a couple weeks now. It's hard to put down when it's working, though it doesnt seem to get the giants. I got 29 largemouth on it yesterday in the cold, wind, rain and snow. I didn't count them on Friday or Saturday, but I spanked 'em. The thing is, I didn't get any over 20". Several 18's & a few 19's & lots of 2-3lbers. It's a lot of fun, but I want a new pb.

5 lb 5 oz

[jalberg]

Very impressive!

[Juan Grande]

Nice fish KT!

[TonkaBass]

Nice job KT

[serpent]

Awesome!!

[jalberg]

KT, can I ask how heavy of a jig you are using?

[kt]

The last couple weeks I've been using a 1/4 oz jig.

[smalliehunter]

Very nice fish,I haven't caught a large mouth since october 22nd. Are you fishing off shore structure or weed lines?

[jalberg]

Thanks, I've also had a 1/4 oz jig tied on, but only used it sporadically with not much luck. wrong time or place I guess. Again, nice work!

[HellaBass]

We did not make a sign, but put a camera on a tripod on Sunday

[kt]

smalliehunter,

We have been catching the largemouth mostly right on the weedline and just a little ways out off the weedline.
