Nope....there are still guys on the internet swearing the bigger bass did not get here yet.....:kooky:.

They don't realize those fish have been coming through in small pods at a time........and may be available for 12-24 hours at most in some places now.
With the 16-24" fish making up the bulk of the action......

I don't think it's officially over till the internet pundits say it's over........


Meanwhile the water temps are still dropping and have not stabilized.
The bait is thinning out.

Conditions are not the same as last year or even close.







I think a lot of us go out because we need to fish.,......we need to be out there.....:thumbsup:
That's what drives me, anyway,....and for those reasons fishing is something that soothes the soul....:fishing:
