Good trip Fred. Thanks for the pics! Our water temp is 74 and I put still above water on this beauty today.

Thanks Steve, and you're welcome.
Very nice job, to you and Rich! What did she weigh? The water temps are dropping pretty steadily here now , with the high 30°s/ low 40°s at night.
How's your recovery coming? I'm glad to see you getting out my friend.

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.

Glad you got out. It's been beautiful lately.

Every fish you put on my scale weighs 2.66 lbs and I can't figure out why! So, no exact but experience estimates not 5 but more than 4.
Recovery is progressing to well. Back to work Nov 1st but only part time. Bro, I am going to miss weekday fishing! Happy trails my friend and I hope you get out often before Winter!

Nice fish Fred!
I went out yesterday when the water was flat, for 15 minutes, then the wind picked up. Fished for an hour, 2 hits on a worm, skunked again. This time of year is very trying up north.

Maybe there's a lock button??
Glad it's going well and you're feeling good enough to get out, and unfortunately go back to work. Just take it easy and don't screw up your recovery.

Thanks Denny. Not the size I was hoping for, but better than a skunk. It was the calmest day of the season.

Thanks Fireguy. The calm lasted all day here, but the sun only showed up for 15 minutes. Yes it is my friend.
