Don’t put the boat away just yet.

I know there’s a lot of other things to be doing this time of year. In fact, I’ve yet to make it out chasing Rudy’s! But, I just can’t give it up. Made it out to a local lake today with a buddy. Bite has been pretty consistent the last 2 weeks. 50-52 deg surface temp, 12-16fow. 1/16oz fireball jig and fathead. Tried shiners and those didn’t produce much. Great day to be on the water, but I think it may have been the finale.

I tried a lot of different presentations but every one of them got my striped bass! no way i can really complain about fall fishing……ever

Yep…until never.

I would keep mine out all year but ice fishing is my favorite season and i can’t do both. i do not have a garage either so to those that say never, I envy you kind of.

My boat doesn’t fit in the garage…I just drain the water and knock the snow off of it.

I used to try fishing in the fall but can’t seem to catch anything. I just never could figure it out. I have done well once december rolls around so I’ll wait and try in another month if we don’t have good ice yet.
