Managed to spool up some new line on a new reel hidden under the coal I got. Temps are looking good next week to try it out but stitches don’t come out until Dec.5th. ? Hoping it gets warmer by then or shortly after.

Hey if you come by the Jax. area and you have some time let me know. 

I think the iguanas are down south mostly…

Will do buddy, thanks! I will be driving a box truck full of old keepsakes to my aunts house, so far I’m just following orders haha. 

Just watched this video from BR after wanting to try a swimjig after the Jones epic stuff.  Didn't really touch on what I wanted in regard to the way Josh Jones is using them, but I learned something I think will be very useful.

TL/DW:  All that warm rainwater will be constantly washing into the lakes, which also will be adding organic particles which collect heat and increase the temps even higher in those shallow areas.  

 

 

Will the White Whale venture shallow to feed ?

BAWAHAHAHA....don't let this fool come down there, he'll eat all those Iguanas ?

Gator is good, not sure about smaller lizard . I have seen people hunt them with pellet rifle so there must be a recipe out there………

I've had blackened Alligator that was good....gamey but good.       I've also had Kangaroo.   That's as far down the TnRiver46 Rabbit hole I go though ?

SpiderWire DuraBraid 15# in Hi-Vis Yellow on a new Shimano Nexave 2500. Put it on my Daiwa AIRD-X Braiding-X 6'6" M spinning rod. Planning on using it for Ned-rigs, T-rigged soft plastics, etc.

 

I’m liking the forecast! ?

Saturday looks good here, so does Sunday. For sure going Saturday, might try to make it out both days though.

Nice warm up lol at least I’m on the water 

I sure hope that warm weather gets things going. My last session on Harris was a little disappointing. Nuthin. I see the bass, but I cannot catch them. Saw good amount of bait too. Whatever. I’ll wait em out

Did you slap them with a Colorado blade? That oughta wake em up 

Not really yet actually. A little bit of willow.
 

Saturday. It will be rainy and cloudy. Plan on going out in a rain suit. A big thumper spinnerbait will dominate that day

It's supposed to storm here on Saturday, but it will be cloudy and 70 on Sunday. I may take Saturday and run some new coated rudder cables on my kayak and then head out on Sunday. I'm a little wary being out on my kayak when the water is this cold, but the striper, white bass,  and hybrid bite is heating up and I'd like to get in on that. Hopefully the largemouth pre-spawn bite heats up in January as well.

I hope you get on em! Love the striper/white bass/hybrid bite
