Of all days for a high pressure, cold weather system to hit, it had to be my one day off this past week!  The shad have been in the bays and the bass have been bustin 'em pretty well here recently...except for veteran's day.  Well I did the best I could to turn $#!* into sugar and my new neighbor and friend, Tony, managed to boat 15 fish in 12 hours of fishing.  My game plan the night before was to throw topwater in the morning and lipless or shallow diving cranks on the shad schools in the afternoon.  Needless to say that plan went out the window about an hour into the day.  All the fish were caught on either a finesse jig/baby rage craw trailer, a shaky head, or a t-rigged baby brush hog, all green pumpkin with the tips dipped in JJ's chartreuse, worked sloooooooooowly along steep rocky banks near the mouths of the coves.  As I type this I wanna say, I am busy this whole weekend and the weather is PERFECT!  Gotta love it huh?  ;D  Anyhow, at least we didn't get skunked, and it was good to get on the water with a new friend.  Here are a couple of pics.  He had the big one of the day which was probably about a 3 1/2 pound LM on a shaky head, but both of our phones were dead by this time so unfortunately we couldn't get a pic of that one.

Beautiful pics! I just love our area this time of year. The leaves change and fall and the deer come out. I just wish I wasn't so sick. It's been great fishing weather this week and I've been battling some nasty bug. I'm glad somebody was able to get out and enjoy it!

Sounds like a great time to me Joe and glad you two had some fun

Great fish and pics. The finesse jig and baby craw has been one of my most productive baits this year.
