Secret Word 10/16 to 10/19

Ebola

Same rules as last week.

I have zero confidence I can pull off what I did last weekend.

Not going to stop me from trying.

Trying to convince someone to fish Mille Lacs in the wind Saturday or Sunday.

The Brown Footballs are snapping.

I made it out this afternoon for a few hours. Tried a lake I haven't fished for a month and didn't get anything worth a pic. Just got a few 14-15 inchers. Also donated a lipless to a pike.!Hit right at the boat and scared the He!! out of me. All I saw was mouth and teeth coming at me! Dang wind again, I suppose it is part of fall fishing.

Heading up North to the Nevis/Akeley area this weekend and hoping to get 5 big ones. We'll see I guess.

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one struggling. I was out for a few hours earlier and got a few 14s and one 16.25 that I took a pic of just in case this weekend goes the same way. Had one fish I missed practically jump in my boat! I was pitching a jig and reeled it up and a bass came flying out after it. Kinda freaked me out!

I was fortunate to spend most of the day on the water today(10am - 3:30pm). Hit my favorite fall lake and struggled most of the day. Ended up catching 10 bass with my best 5 going around 20 Ibs which ended up being awesome. The reality was all of the quality fish came in 10 minutes of total fishing time. If you were to extract those 10 minutes I would have caught 5 fish with nothing over 2.5 Ibs. Got lucky on the timing today ... those fish were in a spot less than 1/2 of my boat (about 10X10 square). Tried back 3 different times later in the day and never got a sniff. Had some text book fall fishing today!

Nice fish Rum.

Well, fished the Up North lake on Sat, definately was chilly up there. Air temps were upper 40's. Ended up getting some but nothing as big as I hoped. Biggest was an 18.5 at 4lb 13oz, they must be eating good. Surprisly I couldn't get anything decent sized on jigs, but caught the 3 biggest on a KVD 2.5 Square bill.

Nice fish Rud!

Some solid fish Ruddy.

Time for a new word for this week RRR. This time pick one that isn't a disease, my wife was wondering why the Heck I was bringing a piece of paper up to the cabin that said "EBOLA"! I said I don't know.

The weather looks decent for this weekend, I'm hoping to get out for a bit to enjoy it. Gotta squeeze mowing the Mother in Laws leaves up sometime though, that is never fun!
