Long / Coverdale Lakes (MI) - 11/8/09

feeds@yuku.com (ReggieMFD72) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:50:54 GMT

Brad and I hooked up the boat and went to Long & Coverdale today. Wasn't real thrilled about there being no wind when we got there. Too calm, bright sun, clear lake, I told Brad I did not have a good feeling about catching anything today. Well wouldn't you know it, not long after we got there he put a keeper in the boat using a senko. A 1 lb. 12 oz. largemouth.

Silver 11/8/09

Stew met me at the ramp and we fished Silver. You won't get a great report here because we stunk it up. I ended up with three bass only one kept and Stew had a decent pike. I am guessing it was around 36 inches. It is now on bluegill patrol in my pond. Here is what we threw: Topwater, senkos, critter craws, swim baits, jerkbaits, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, tubes, and buddies. I caught two on a buddy and one on a wacky worm. Stew's pike came on the senko. His super secret color...

Union Lake (MI) Oakland County 11-08-09

feeds@yuku.com (Bigbass101) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:27:35 GMT
We started our morning fishing around 8 am. The water on Union Lake was crystal clear. Surface temperature was running 46 to 48 degrees. There were times we had the depth finders showing 20 feet of water, and you could see the bottom. It was really deceiving the eyes too. You would be sitting in 7 foot of water, and it looked like 2 foot.
Crawdads littered the lake bottom. There were dead ones, and ones moving all over the place. Which probably is why this is one of top smallmouth...

Tim and I arrived at Wampler's Lake around 1 pm after leaving Union lake. The water clarity was clearer than normal with about 6 foot of visibility. Water surface temperature was running between 46 and 48 degrees.

We decided to do a quick zip around the lake with the trolling motor while fishing. We zigzagged back and forth across the flats and drop offs. Our best fish producing areas were the 4 to 10 foot range.

Within the first 5 to 10 minutes of fishing, I had...

Done fishing for the year...........Winterized my boat and Motor today.
I've had no trouble at all with my motor,but was wondering if there is a time table on replacing the thermostat and Water Pump Impeller?

Saturday hunt

feeds@yuku.com (I Hunt Snipe) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:19:02 GMT
Unless something changes quickly my hunting season is going to be over soon. It's hard to attract shorebirds when there is no shore. The pace yesterday was less than one bird shot per hour. When I'm not seeing many birds it is harder to stay focused. I am more fatigued and my mind tends to wander to other things. I'm not expecting the flush when it comes. I was consistently behind and three of my five birds were killed with the second barrel. I have been wishing for drought but I...

Dow Lake 11/8/09

Can you believe this weather we are having in November! It must have got in the 60s today. Eight of us fished today and things looked good, I started out with a rattle trap and had a really big one on right off the bat. But with my luck she came off. That was a good sign that they were hitting Well that was wrong I fished that crank bait for most of the day and nothing. I talked to John out on the water at about 1:30 and he said what is going ? he said he never got a fish and no one he...

Launched the little boat and went after some crappie, started fishing around 9:30

It was on from there! We were catching them at a steady rate, all the way up until we left. They were some nice fish too, nothing under 9.5 and all the way up to 14". We caught 25 crappie, 7 or so gills, 1 bass, and what I believe is a smallmouth buffalo? Guys were hitting the perch out on Erie too. I'll let the pics tell the story.

With some help on a tackle making forum on stencil making I got the idea for this craw and used a "bluegill" style belly!

Was a nice day to be out on the lake! 9 people showed up today. The weather couldn`t have been better for this time of the year. Crank baits was the ticket. Bill Walters had 3 keeper fish and I also had 3 fish. Bill had a nice 4 pounder and with his other 2 fish his total weight was 6.92 pounds good for first place and big bass! (Check out the big smile on Billy face) I think that`s the first time I have seen a smile on that face in a picture! "Great job Billy boy!"

I stopped at a buddies house this morning to do some work on my van. While I was in the neighborhood, I drove over to Metamora's Reservoir to take a few casts around the upper reservoir. Managed 1 in the 25 to 30 minutes I was there. Nice to have a quick tug before heading home. Water levels were way down in both reservoirs.

Huron 11/6/09

feeds@yuku.com (Kenny Limmit) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:57:10 GMT
Fished Huron last night from 12:30 to 2:30 am. Not much was going on, only 3 trucks in the parking lot and some guys we talked to didnt catch any in 3 hours. We tried it anyway. My dad had one on around 1:30, only for it to get off 5 feet from shore . Nothing else after that. Every once in a while we could hear some walleyes splash on top, so there were a few in there. They just must not have been biting....

28 inches and nearly 17 pounds!

New State record fish is swimming in Tennessee waters. This bass below was shocked up out of a 167 acre lake this October. It's nearly 2 lbs. heavier than the current state record. Below is the link to the article.

I've been hearing about a lot of boat trailers being stolen lately while guys are out on the water fishing. Back your trailer in a tight place, and keep a lock on it. Although, they have been cutting the locks. Mostly happening on Lake Erie access sites.

Just a quick report Wayne and I hit the water around 8:00 this morning I think we were fishing at 8:30 or so. Water temps in upper 40's with a slight chop on the water but the chop was increasing all day. Up to about 3 ft in the later part of the day, the ride in was a bit bumpy.

We started out Perch fishing first thing. The Perch were on the smaller side but there were keepers mixed in too. We end up very close to our limit but spent way too much of the day catching...

Wild Boar

A couple of my coworkers were on their way to Oak Hill the other day. They got about 5 miles outside of Logan and they come up on a state highway patrolman with his lights flashing and a car in front of them. This time of year in southeastern Ohio they thought another deer run out in front of someone. When they get up to it they see a wild boar that was road killed.
Wild boars aren't native to SE Ohio, but there was a high fence hunting preserve (also known as Ted Nugent hunting)...
