Killer day today, too many bass to count and some nice slab crappies.
Water temp 42-46. Suspending jerks did the numbers and spinnerbaits got the big ones. Had a 6 + at the boat and it spit the hook into Rogers thumb as he was lippin it. I would of sucked it up to land the fish, he chose not to. ha.

I'm still hanging in there without much to show for it! Been out every morning this week with one crappie to show for it. Had some solid bites with a few missed hooksets. Had a 2lb bass on this morning that escaped as I was about to lip it! Need to get my December bass soon, time is running out!
Just moved into a waterfront house on a small, shallow pond, and forced myself to slow down and use suspending jerkbaits. This gal went 5lb-11oz, and I hit a 4-2 on a crankbait on Vet's Day. Water's at 40 here in CT River Valley, with a thin sheet of ice on south end of pond pretty much every morning. The Pickerel and Perch have been on fire aside from the Largemouth bite. This extended fall has been great, keep the lines wet!
I got out yesterday and today in the kayak for a few hours at one of my holes.Got skunked yesterday but managed a 1.5 pound Largemouth this morning plus a couple of Crappie! Water temps were 42 degrees and I caught the Bass on a 2 inch Rapalla Minnow. What a couple of great days weather wise!
Never caught a trout there, but have caught many stunted bass! Have had days where I have caught 15-20 bass and not one over a lb! Car top access is tough. You may be able to launch at the very south end of the pond, but it will still involve a little work. Little South is another 5 minutes down the road and is a very easy launch. Sm and Lm. 20 ft. deep kettle type pond.
Smallmouth up to 3lbs. were hitting jigs down the cape yesterday. All fish were caught in 40'-25' of water. Temps were 47-49.
The blade bait bite for some reason was dead and so was the ability to locate bait or fish on the finder. Caught perch and trout too on 1/2 oz. football jigs.
There's plenty of fish to be had until the water gets hard. Don't put the boats away just yet!
