T-water Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yeah once I got cold I could not warm up! That with the wind picking up and fish not cooperating and the the vikes screwing the pooch it was time to hang it up. I'll still do more wading in the river and eventually ice fishing but the boat is getting ready to take a nap. Besides someones gotta finish raking all these leaves! With all that said if it we get a 50 degree day I'll probably be back out in the boat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBass Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I fished last Sunday and it was snowing the whole time. Just flurries, but still. Guides were ok for the first couple of hours then I was only casting about 15 yards and I'm like what the.. then I noticed the ice on the guides - D'oh! Yup it chilly out there. I may have one last run this weekend before I call it quits and wait for the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassn1 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I wouldn't mind bustin' my way out to open water but.........my lake is froze over shore to shore!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalberg Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I've been out today checking out lakes to see which ones I may be able to get on in the boat. The first four I checked were either almost completely frozen over or had ice too thick to bust up on shore. I did finally find one without any ice at the access. Now if only the forecast will hold up, it should be a nice day on the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaBass Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I just fished the mississippi today. It was a little slow, but still fun to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyster Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I noticed WBL is still open today... I read in my records that 15 years ago I noticed people ice skating. Crazy how the ice in and out dates and changing.. I lOVE IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalberg Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Did pretty good yesterday. Got 6 bass. Here's the biggest, 20". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishcast Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 thats pretty sweet..just curious as to what you were throwing and what kind of locations you found them in right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalberg Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I actually blew 3 hours searching areas that were too deep. I ended up finding them just inside the deep weedline, which was around 12 feet, up to about 7 feet. They seemed to be schooled up around areas with nice crispy green coontail on points and inside turns next to flats. I was throwing slow falling plastics. I'd say it was a great end to my open water season, but I'm headed back out sometime this week. Maybe I am crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
