For the Week Ending Sunday, Dec. 8, 2019

Tuesday, Dec. 3 (from Ron)...Fished this evening and caught one bass on a 3-ft. diving crankbait. Tried upper North Landing, vicinity of the culvert, in hopes of finding some stripers, but only got this 1-12 to avoid the skunk. Tried jerkbaits, topwater and a 3-ft. diving Berkley crankbait.

Wednesday, Dec. 4 (from Ron)...Went in search of those bass with stripes in the upper North Landing last evening but didn't find any. Normally, I can find a few, but here lately, they seem to have run off or just are not biting. My consolation was a lone bass that hit the trusty ol' XTS Minnow. Didn't weigh it, but I would guess about 1-5.

Friday, Dec. 6 (from Ron)...Went in search of striper at the HRBT from midnight til' about 0200. Had non-stop action, with some nice drag-screaming pole benders, plus something for the skillet. Didn't even put the gloves on; weather was perfect, and the wind died down, leading to almost glass-calm conditions by recovery time.
