I'll be packing the boat away for the winter soon, but I'm glad I hadn't done it yet. I decided to go out for a few hours Sunday afternoon because it was so nice. Had to go with South Fayson because they gate the ramp at West Fayson November 1 through March 31 (who the heck knows why).
Trolled a Ratt-l-Trap and a small Shad Rap for about an hour and a half hoping to nail a suspended wiper or trout. All I bagged was a really good sized perch.
Tried casting to the the shore and into 6-15 feet of water with a chatterbait and the Rat-l-Trap, then a Binsky, but nothing doing ,so went with a jig and still nada.
Just as the sun was setting I hit a drop off with a tube bait and was into a good sized fish, but lost it before I could see it. 10 minutes later I landed a nice little bass about 14 inches. I didn't bring a flashlight so I called it a day just before dark.
It was a great day to be on the water and nice that I wasn't completely skunked. Water was 37 degrees so the ice can't be far behind.
