Monday, Nov. 6 (from Ron)...Past few days have been tough. I can't seem to find any decent bass. Only a few days are left
for the two-bass tournament, so I'm getting worried. Fished Tecumseh Sunday morning and Lovitt's in the evening, 6 hours total, and only caught six dinks total. Ugh... Fished Blackwater this evening and caught a 1-4 and a dink. Seems like
they had lockjaw. Didn't see any bait or movement. Water was clear, with a slight
breeze, and the gauge was at 2.5. Tried everything without any pole-benders.
Tuesday, Nov. 7 (from Ron)...Fished Milldam this evening from 3:30 to 5:30. Wind wasn't bad, and the water was
clear. Bite was pretty good for first half hour, then went south. Caught a
mixed bag but nothing scale worthy. Included were three dink bass, two crappie, a bluegill, and a small
bowfin. Whopper Plopper, XTS and Beetlespin were working, though I tried a variety of
plastics that didn't get a bump. The drizzle, combined with the temp, were not much fun.
Wednesday, Nov. 8 (from Ron)...Had to try, even though weather was miserable. Cold and raining, but the wind was light, the water
clear, and the bite was OK in upper North Landing from 4 to 5 p.m. I caught two dink bass, as well as a 1-0, 1-1, and a 1-3 in the first half hour, then they shut down. Everything came on XTS Minnow. Just can't seem to find any long ones. Surprised I didn't get any bowfin, with the 1.2 gauge reading.
Thursday, Nov. 9 (from Ron)...Fished Milldam from 3 to 5:30 p.m. It was a bit chilly, with light rain, very clear, and a
gauge reading of 1.7. The bite was very good from 3:10 'til 4, then slowed down. Caught
11 bass, with two at 1-1 and a 2-6, and all the rest were dinks. Managed one white perch at
11 inches. XTS Minnow was the ticket. Threw some plastics that drew taps but
no hookups. Tried topwater but no strikes.
Friday, Nov. 10 (from Ron)...Conditions this morning were tough. Caught a bunch mid-channel, nothing
in the feeder creeks. All fell to trolled XTS Minnow. Didn't get a single one casting
to shoreline. Final totals were 13 bass, only one of which rated the scale. Weighed in at 2-0. Also caught one wee
yellow perch. It was cold and windy!
Saturday, Nov. 11 (from Ron)...Challenged the cold today with a trip to No Name Creek. Gauge was .5, and I
wondered what it would be like. Fished from 9:30 to 12:00, then headed back into upper North Landing. While in No Name Creek, I managed seven dink bass and a 1-4, all
on XTS, as well as two dink yellow perch. In upper North Landing, I found five more bass: three dinks, a 1-5, and a 2-0, giving me another 13-bass day. It was very cold--hat and gloves
weather! Never did find the longer ones for the tournament. Oh well...
