Super User senile1 Posted November 4, 2006 Super User Share Posted November 4, 2006 I fished a pond yesterday and started in 6 - 7 feet of water, moving deeper as the morning progressed. I was fishing with the owner's aluminum boat, no trolling motor, no electronics, and no thermometer. After an hour and a half I eventually found fish at about 14 - 16 feet according to my countdown on my lures. I tried a t-rigged worm, a jig, and slow rolling a spinnerbait. I caught one on the jig, and three on the spinnerbait. None of the fish were bigger that 2.5 lbs. The bites were really light. I would have stayed longer, but it was really windy and I was using a paddle. I would let the wind blow me across the pond and fish the deeper water as I crossed it, using my drift sock. Then I would paddle back to the other side and do it again. I got tired of fighting the wind. This pond is only about 5 acres so, for you KC area fishermen, the fish are starting to move deeper in the Kansas City area, at least on smaller bodies of water. When I started fishing the temperature was only 31 degrees outside. It has been down in the 20s the last few nights. Water temperatures on large lakes like Smithville are still in the 50s so you may still be able to find some shallower than this on those lakes.

Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted November 4, 2006 Super User Share Posted November 4, 2006 I would have stayed longer, but it was really windy ...... I got tired of fighting the wind. :-? : :-? : That's been the ongoing theme theme for me the past few weeks. I have been trying to get out and do some fall fishing, but the stupid wind won't cooperate. 15 mph is my limit with these falling water temps. As I look out my window right now I barely see a leaf moving, but I GAURANTEE it would start blowing the minute I get out there. Forecast for today says 15 mph winds with gusts over 20. And of course tomorrow is suppose to be a nice calm day .... but I don't fish on Chief's game days. 8-) Did you see the forecast for mid-week ...... highs near 80.

Super User senile1 Posted November 4, 2006 Author Super User Share Posted November 4, 2006 Yes, I did. I wish I could take off from work but I've got to cut over some sites on a network installation every day this week. > Oh, well, I'll fish when I can.

Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted November 4, 2006 Super User Share Posted November 4, 2006 Well there goes my idea for going to day. I just went out and ran a few errands. On my way home I was like .... "ya know, the wind still isn't blowing yet." I went home and was just about to hook up the boat and it started blowing pretty good ....... Game off!!!! I think I might be sick on Wed. I am pretty sure the only cure is a day on the lake. ;D I can feel the sickness coming on now. 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
