Took a short trip to Zoar, to try out the Jackson Cove ramp. Warmer this morning than it has been, but the water is cooling off. 58° at the ramp, and 60° in the cove near the dam. Couldn't find anything in the south end but nibblers. Worked my way back north and found a stretch with some fish, but all small ones. Put 4 Largemouth and 1 Smallmouth in the boat, and missed 1 bigger fish. Zero wind today, and the leaves are changing.

Good looking fish there Fredfish! This time of season it's just nice to get a comfortable day so you are able to spend time on the water!

Thanks Yaker. Probably the calmest day this year. If only the sun came out , the bite would have been better, and it would have been perfect.

Nice bass Fred and a few of them too. Calm water is always nice, and it looks like the Yum Dinger was the go-to bait today. Thanks for sharing.Oct 18, 2023 18:51:50 #

I couldn't find any big ones, except for 1 I missed on the outside of a weedline. It was dead calm most of the day. Yep, I tried a Crankbait, Buzzbait, and a Swim jig, with no results. Couldn't find any deep fish to Dropshot, so breakout the Dingers! It's my pleasure buddy.

Action is action Fred. When you said calm, that’s about as flat as it can get. I see some colors in your pictures. If you think about it, take some pictures when it really changes and post em for us southerners. We only get green and brown. 😁

Thanks Stephen. It was nice for sure. The Maples are pretty bright yellow already, the Red Maples are already falling on the ground. I'm going to Lilly tomorrow, the next lake upriver. There should be a little more color there, plus more sunshine tomorrow. I'll keep my eyes open.
