What's Working Now?Fishing Reports.

[Jig Master]

A really good bait for this time of year that you can still use to cover some water with is a lipless crankbait. When the water gets colder they really seem to work well. My favorite is the Yo-Zuri rattlin' vibe and then after that probably the original rattle trap. I've caught three fish over 19" on them so far this November.

I just started getting into river fishing this fall. I went out today with my Grandson and had a ball. The smallies are happening on the Mighty Mississip' !! And what a beautiful day it was.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I was out yesterday at a local metro lake and did pretty well with the Bass. I caught around 9 in 4 hours. Live bait was the secret on this trip.

Well I know it is hard water and not the typical bass time but I did catch 4 largemouths between 16-18 inches on sucker minnows under tip-ups this past weekend. They're just as fun through the ice!!!

Yes! What type of location did you catch them in. Cove, point, weeds, outside the weeline, deep, north side of the lake???

[ducksnbucks]

I am fishing in 16 feet of water, between shore and an underwater hump. So it is kind of a saddle between the two. It is a clear lake with weeds on the bottom at 16 ft. And a good cabbage line at about 13 feet. The bluegills are also present. Good Luck

[Central Bassman]

[Deitz Dittrich]

Ice fishing vids... We just released the Muskie show at the beginning of the year...

As for open water and Bass...

Ray Esboldt and I shot a show last spring and nailed the big bass!.. .it was awesome! The fish just came out of post spawn the day we hit the lake and Ray and I put the smack down on them...

Mid Summer Went out with Agape(Wayne Ek) and we caught some nice bass as well.. Both Shows should be good learning shows.. We are still looking for sponsors to air the shows,, but they should air this spring some time.

[ikeslayer]

[Deitz Dittrich]

Well boys, I cant make any promises... They are in the editors hand now...

I will say this to wet your wistle... Ray and I had a blast.. At one point we had a double.. I would put the smaller of the 2 fish at sligtly over 4lbs...and these fish were not on beds.. we caught them on a transistion in about 8-10 feet of water.

[Central Bassman]

[Jim Hudson]

Spoons and lake shiners are working well for me and my clients..

[Central Bassman]

Where is this??

[Deitz Dittrich]

CB- Jim is a guide on Shag bay on lake superior just out of Ashland WI... Definalty one of the top smallie fisheries in the US.. and the top for ice fishing!

[bassNspear]

That would be a great place to be out and hitting up some monster smallies through the ice. Im sure its a rush.

My Aqua-VU works!

Was out yesterday on a small Twin Cities lake & the bass were swimming all over the place. I saw around a dozen in the couple of hours I was out, but only one took even a half-hearted swipe at a bait. But they were certainly on the move.

Also caught a fat 18" bass Saturday on a shiner & tip-up. Thing ran so far I thought it must be a monster pike, almost spooled the 50 yards on my tip-up. And judging by its belly, this bass never heard that his kind aren't supposed to be eating much during the winter.
