Schoolies just before dark.

If you watch for birds working the water near you, you can sneak up under them and throw a Long A, a Rogue , or any minnow imitation bait and have much fun catching schoolies like these.
P.S. These fish were all caught on Long A's and Red Fins. I lost my Long A on a good fish that broke my line at the boat. I culled 5 fish. Stay tuned for more fish stories in the coming days.

The big ones are biting at Rayburn again.
My battery was dead and I caught all these within 75 yards of the launch.
They are biting traps over grass.

Canada vacation pics Vol. 1

CANADA

We spent the entire month of October in North Bay, Ontario Canada. We were visiting our son and his family, who are stationed there in the Air Force. We fished almost daily, catching Northern Pike and Bass. The glacial lakes are everywhere and the scenery is absolutely awesome. Thanks B.J., Noel and Liam. I will post some pics from Canada and Niagra Falls after I make them an uploadable size.

Cold

Well the weather has been cold lately and will stay that way for a couple more months. I did get a deer though. Got it on the second day of the season. I am going to start fishing again in February. I'll keep you posted.

They're biting topwater on Big Sam.

Just after work today I decided to take a chance and go fishing. It wasn't so hot today and I got done early. I'm glad I went. Found these hiding under matted hydrilla points. They couldn't resist my Pop-R. Caught about 5 this size in 2 hours. Not bad.

Time off

Well, it's 100+ degrees every day now so I'm taking
a few weeks off from fishing. It's just too hot to spend time
looking for fish. Seriously, there are heat warnings every
day. Check back in mid September.
Thanks for keeping up with fishing on Big Sam.
