Start of our yearly fall fishing trip

We headed up to Dalrymple Lake on Sunday to start our fall trip on a sweet little lake, the parking lot was full and there were trucks and trailers parked on the road as well, it was windy but manageable and we bounced around checking out different areas. Water temperature was around 56 to 60 degrees depending on which side of the point we were on. With the sun out it was a beautiful day for the 3rd week in October. 

Tight Lines Fishing

A-Rig works around here as well with 2 small swimbait on the top 2 wires without hooks, 2 small jigs with 2.5" Swammers on the bottom and a 4" Swammer on the middle one. 

My docking spot for 2 days, the water was low so I pointed my nose into shore beside the dock and tied up to it and lowered my motor to hold the backend in one spot, when I tried to pull in along the dock my boat bottomed out about 2' away from it so this worked fine for us. 

The bass seemed to hit it better than the pike as most of them were just barely hooked.

Partners switched for Tuesday on another beautiful sunny day

First thing I heard was I want to use the rod and reel you were using yesterday lol. This is what happens when you get to use the guides personnel equipment sometimes. There are days that the color of the jig head and the size and color of the X Zone Lures Swammer make a really big difference and a couple of the days this week it did, everything seemed to be really picky and the water temperature was between 56 and 63 degrees. I think Bonnie had about 5 fish in the boat before I caught 1 she was awful close to being kicked out of the boat onto one of the islands to fend for herself lol.

Texas Rig with a Muscle Back Craw tricked a few as well.

New Lithium Batteries are starting to go in the Nitro Z6

I put the new Li-Time 12v 165ah battery in the boat and took it out for a few hours to make sure everything worked and found a couple Pike and had another follow about the same size. Now to put the 36v 50ah in for the Recon Trolling motor and there will be a lot less weight the next time the boat hit the water.

Went to work yesterday and production was behind a day so I left at noon and this happened lol

2nd cast and the first Smallie was in the boat and they just kept coming, I enjoyed 3 hours of being on the water on another Solo trip. Some people don't like the wind and that's alright by me the wind can help position the fish and make it easier to find them.

A-Rig was a big help again

Blackfly Lures Quad Blade (REJ) put a bunch in the boat

This one needed a bit of  TLC and still worked to put the rest in the boat
