A November Heat Wave

Today’s weather was absolutely spectacular for a mid-November day! So much so that it seemed like everyone who owned a boat, was on the water too! Leslie opted for a half day trip that put us right in the middle of the day and hopefully the best fishing.

We started around 10:00 and I wasn’t surprised to see as many boats as I did where we fished. It was almost T Shirt weather out there! It’s too bad the fishing wasn’t as hot as the air temps though as we struggled to get the bites today. The fish just weren’t cooperating much in the beginning but we did find some good ones to play with. Short strikes and light bites were more common, but several of the bigger bass just crushed the baits too! I found myself moving around more than usual, just to avoid the traffic!

Four hours passes by quickly and it definitely was a blur today. Before we knew it, it was time to go! There weren’t too many pictures taken today and every fish was a bonus. I would have liked to get a few pics of the beast Leslie landed, but a light bleed had us releasing it quicker than usual. We both wanted to ensure that it lived! Overall, today may have been tougher than usual but it sure was a pleasure to be on the water, on such a beautiful day. There’s no telling how much longer I’ll be able to remain out before winter storage arrives. Mother nature will decide my fate!!
