Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday., Fishing.

Went down to the lake around 6pm last night. Bluegill, small bass and a few rock bass before dark. After dark somehow a birds nest on my reel. Too dark to play with that, so cut the line. There was just enough line left on the reel, to do short casts with the slip bobber and jig. A few small walleye and crappie. The coyote were very loud and active most of the evening. Fishing was nice a relaxing with not much to report. Just average fish sizes last night, and all released to get bigger. Perfect night for weather, a slight breeze and went down to 3 degrees.

Crappie.

Did catch one big fish.

Bluegill.

Going back out later. Before, after, or during the Leafs game, and or the Yankee game.

Looking good, cold front just moved through, she’s awful cold right now. Finally felling like October.

Nice work Jamie.....wear your woolies in Acton we had our first frost this morning.

I was out on Balsam yesterday morning early up until lunch time and the fishing was absolutely on fire for me.


That is to say I managed to catch 3 small Bass and a dinky Walleye. Most exciting part was 2 of those Bass came from under the same dock so it feels more like an accomplishment than just dumb luck. Most of my trips the only fish I see is that Bluegill that likes to swim around my trailer at the ramp.

Water temp has dropped quite a bit. It was 70+ 10 days ago and it was 59 when I launched.

Thank you mykola, it was cold the last two nights. What's a cold front. LOL. Love October, November and December fishing. Good luck on your walleye fishing soon.

Thank you Arnie, just loved all those pictures of you and your friends out catching all those fish. We had frost as well, today and yesterday. It was brutal the last two nights, going down to 3 degrees. Thick, moist, heavy, cold air is a nightmare to fish in.

Earlier you posted about your 1st Balsam walleye. Next time you get out on the water. Try casting all around that hump where you were trolling. Try some crankbaits that will swim at that depth. Good luck next time you are on Balsam.

Another nice evening/ night to be fishing cold or not it is still fishing glad you got something and were able to get out again. I will fish Friday at some point for sure evening and maybe Saturday. Then the 19th we will fish for the day and pull the boat out that will end my soft water season. I will report back when i am done the season with hopefully a recap and a few photos. Good luck out there

Stay warm friend.

Glad you were able to get out, you’re gonna have everyone on here night fishing haha

Thanks Jay. Two nights down, one to go. Actually had my friends friend with me last night for a few hours. He was not prepared, just my opinion. From slipping on the rocks to not knowing how to get a fish in with no light. Fishing at night can be slippy in a boat or from shore. Condensation and frost can hurt you. But he will learn, the easy way or the hard way. And he did catch a walleye and a bass and a crappie, so he was very happy.
