Yesterdays trip to Bear Place with Don. We each caught a pickerel and perch. Don's pics first.
Sun was bright and I couldn't tell if the fish was visible in the pics or not until I got back to the car. This pic was the best fo the 2 or 3 I took of this one.
The perch struck a perfect pose for this pic, with his fins up and his expression matching Don's
My pickerel was longer, though neither was quite legal. His perch was longer.

I caught my first Chatterbait Bass today. I wasn’t really equipped to use it with the lighter action rod but I grabbed it as a last minute what the hey type of thing. Good thing too because my other tricks at my local reservoir weren’t working.

Good to hear on the wood. They should be up shallow right now and I’ll be targeting that tomorrow at BM. I found bait in two spots today, not going to lie, I got a little excited but I just don’t think they are in chasing bait mode yet in my neck of the woods.
I’ll be deploying a new secret weapon tomorrow. LOL. I like fishing football jigs but the last few times out, they’ve been anywhere from 3’ to 16’. Throwing football jigs into wood gets dicey….and expensive.
so I picked up some headbanger rockerhead lures. Kind of like a chatterbait with the head shape but heavy like a jig. Hoping that lure will treat me well with versatility.

A friend sent me a link to them. He said they looked interesting. I said take my money! Lol
Gosh no! I’m not even 40 and have 4 including a 21 yo. What you think I’m A-5?
The trip was 5 years ago now. They use Mountain Cur in NC mostly. It’s an NC thing. Forget the split but a Appalachia hunt anything breed.
I’ve caught zilch but fished zilch. Missed a big bear at 30 yards Sat, hit stand Monday before another Atlanta flight, had same 8 pt come in before I even sat down. XBow up, arrow in, 15 yards, andddd nothing, somehow if you cock an XBow with safety on or something it won’t fully cock. Now back in ATL until Friday. 3/4 business suit mediator between SVPs, 1/4 EE wiring IoT pilots, my own pet projects.
If I stop passing on 8 pts and whiffing on Bear I’m off first week of Nov and plan to go north. Come on Nov. Inwas going to take next week to but a chance I’d have to visit vendor in ATL Monday. Left calendar open and blocked Friday afternoon SOB, really?!? So kills most week for any multi day trips,,, maybe I’ll quit being dumb and fill a few tags freeing my fall to fish.

My Fall season has sucked! I have a bum wrist, over time dried up but projects being completed before Winter have taken over. I hit a semi local stream and caught a pair of wild trout yesterday. It felt nice to catch and release something again.

I’m seeing some good reports today. Maybe this cooler weather finally has them kicked into gear. Hoping the bite holds out tomorrow as I’ll be making a rare sunday appearance at the lake.
