Fishing Trip #168 November 11, 2015, 2015 5:55 AM

Went fishing for about 40 minutes on my way to work this morning. Very windy and no fish activity except one crappie, which I caught. The surface of the lake was choppy with lots of waves from the wind. I saw an opossum walking up and down the bank. It stopped and looked at me a couple of times and kept on going.

Weather conditions: 59 degrees, very cloudy and very windy with 15 mph winds from the south.

Fishing Trip #167 November 10, 2015, 2015 5:45 AM

Went fishing for about 45 minutes on my way to work this morning. Like yesterday, the moon is almost in a new moon phase, so the fish were very active. I caught four bass, one of them was #400 for the year. I was also surprised when I reeled in a catfish with my crankbait!

Weather conditions: 42 degrees, clear sky with a light breeze from the southeast.

Fishing Trip #166 November 9, 2015, 2015 5:50 AM

Went fishing for about 45 minutes on my way to work this morning. It was cold and the ground had frost on it. The moon is almost in a new moon phase, so the fish were much more active this morning despite the colder conditions. One of the bass I caught was 15 inches—a legal keeper, but I released it to live on for another season.

Weather conditions: 34 degrees, clear sky with no wind.

  • Caught 3 largemouth bass with a with a H2O XPRESS Shallow Running Jointed Square-Bill Crankbait.

Catch and release.





Nice 15-incher!
