I got out today to see if my smallies were heading to their winter haunts and I’m happy to say they are. Kind of a very late fall pattern was developing. The river was higher, up about a foot and a half, started the day at an air temp of 44º, ended it at 60º. Water temp was at 54º. Fished the tail end of a cold front, waning full moon. Not that I think any of that matters. The photoperiod is what I’m thinking are bringing them to this area right now. Anyways, I caught 6 on a gold and black Lucky Craft Pointer 110. Five of those looked like the same fish, all like 14”-15” fish. The last on was a toad, coming in at exactly 20”.
Man, I love hunting season…..
