Few still on ledges

Got out on the Susquehanna river for some wading. The river is low but that is normal for this time of year. The first smallie I hooked was a nice 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. The 4 others were dinks but fun. The first one came on a Zoom fluke. After that nothing bit for about an hour so I switched to a small spinnerbait with a twin tailed grub on the back. That bait is almost a guarantee to catch fish on the river. Not a big bass bait but good for numbers.

First buzz bait fish

 

Dawn buzzbait fish from a week ago; best of 4 on an otherwise slow morning, about 2 3/4 lb:

Unfortunately it might end up being my last until spring. I rarely get to fish oct through mar, even when there is open water.  and the way this fall is shaping up, finding time for another outing before dec is unlikely to happen except by accident.

These pics are from this weekends trip to the Susquehanna river. My first fish Saturday was the biggest of the weekend, coming in at about 3 1/2 pounds. Caught it throwing a small beetlespin style spinner downriver. It gave me a good five minute fight then jumped out of the water. After that happened I thought I lost the fish cause I didn't feel it on the line. Turns out the smallie ran upriver faster than I could reel. When I caught up with it on the reel it was still not exhausted. It tried to swim between my legs like most do but I blocked it then lipped it. After the big one all the others were dinks.

Nice!  Out towards Bloomsburg?  What is the water temperature like?

North of Bloomsburg, close to the new Shickshinny boat launch. Water temp that weekend was cooler. Not sure how cool but I could feel the difference between Wednesday when I was out and Saturday as far as water temp. 

Finally back to catching some nice ones again after a week long dink-fest up north. Smallest one pictured was just over 17"

I haven't been fishing in over a month.  Cruising through this thread is worse than water boarding lol

Nice gator AJay 

Been almost two months since i wet a line. Been too busy creating a bass boat! The process is a nightmare, but a fun nightmare. One of the last few times i went fishing, my dad and i had a good day on the water. We each had some 4s, 5s, and each landed a 6 and a half pounder. It is always rare in Minnesota for two people to catch a 6 pounder in the same outing. Were on the water for 6 hours. I was feeling confident with the early 4s and a 5 and was quite satisfied with my day. Then my dad hooked the 6 pounder. I was extremely excited for him, but knew my chances were slim for catching a giant. His was on the 7 inch worm. About an hour later, i hooked mine with a ghost swimjig i made and painted couple nights earlier. Always the best to catch them on your own creation. Not sure if this picture will be right side up...
