Super User Team9nine Posted November 8 Super User Share Posted November 8 Small keepers are better than no keepers 🤣 at least in my book. All on crankbaits again. Cool bonus fish was a blacknose crappie. Water still needs to cool down more to fire the bite up, I think. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinseed Lizard Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Another football caught with The Mayor. Need to dump this Boxer Jig. After three fish it the bait slips and won't hold in place. Probably going to give the VMC Hybrid Swimbait Jig a shot next. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Swamp Girl Posted November 8 Super User Share Posted November 8 @Pumpkinseed Lizard: I also had good luck at the end of this season with the Yamamoto Zako in Chartreuse Shad Laminate, but lawdy, it's a three bass and done bait. So soft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwateronly Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 The bass haven't been fired up when I'm there, but they're still around and somewhat willing. A few highlights; City bass Country bass 2.75" tube; 1/2oz jig, and 1/2oz finesse scrounger did the work. scott 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted November 8 Global Moderator Share Posted November 8 PB alert!!!! 🚨 (attn: @gimruis) The evening began with a dink smallie Then I got another tap tap tap, assumed it was a dink but felt heavyish. Turns out it was an 11.5” rock bass 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't remotely resemble the ones I'm used to seeing. The ones I see look like swimming turds with red eyes covered in scars and wounds. I'm not sure what's more embarassing here. The rock bass itself or the fact that the rocky is bigger than your smallmouth. I woulda not posted the smallmouth alltogether lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can catch em in the middle of the skyscrapers too, the river has cleaned up enough in the last 30 years to catch bass, mostly LM. These are not my pics, saw them on reddit. This spot is near my apt and I have a somewhat secret free parking spot nearby; otherwise it's more of a time, money and/or train thing to other areas that I know have fish. Plus, the smallies get chunky and the deep water and current means they don't ever stray too far away. scott 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We loved catching them as kids. We used to ride our bikes about 15 miles to a little creek which had a deep hole and we were as happy to catch rock bass as all the other fish. They're feisty! 20 minutes ago, gimruis said: I've seen him mark his own post to his own thread as the solution!

You might remember that I recently posted a couple yellow perch in a bass fishing report. I was frankly so happy to catch them and I think others enjoyed seeing them too: For whatever reasons, I don't even catch many pickerel nowadays. It's 65% LMB and 31% SMB and 3.94% pickerel and 0.06% yellow perch, which explains why two yellow perch thrill me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacedivision Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Fun BFS fishing morning. Found a little school chasing a bait ball they had trapped in a grass pocket. The bass would only bite when they decided to flash through the school but it was consistent for almost 4 hours. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
