Just a few hours late in the day

After getting bit off by a Pike deep I changed to shallow water and caught a Rockbass on one of the New Chatterbaits then I switched up and caught a few on a Flipp'n Jig with an Adrenaline Craw for a trailer, there were a few smaller Bass caught on Swimbaits and a few missed on a Buzzbait.

Dropping a Football Jig head in deep water or Chatter Baits in shallow water

Solo trip for a few hours late afternoon and early evening, dropped down on the Pikes head in 21' of water, getting to like looking for them and Bass down deep. New Chatterbait is on it's way from Blackfly Lures for next year and it put a few Largemouth Bass in the boat when nothing else was working, they were in 2.5' of water or less.

Odie joined me for an afternoon/evening on the water

It was a little slow yesterday looking for Panfish, Bass and Pike shallow and deep, we found the Crappie in about 12' of water later in the day, Largemouth Bass in very shallow and no Pike interested, he took a couple dozen Crappie home to eat.

This is pretty COOL I took a buddy out fishing yesterday and he told me I was in the Ontario Out of Doors Magazine so when I came home I checked it out, the more people that know to report #InvasiveSpecies the better.

There were small jigs and plastic used for the Crappie and a small bass, Blade baits n the Pike and Crappie and Metal Buzzbaits on the biggest Largemouth Bass. Not too bad for 5.5 hours after working 3 nightshifts.
