Mike and I met at the Hathaway Point launch and were underway around 10:00. Air temps comfortable and wind not too bad. Water temps still on the high side at around 55. The first place we hit was where Ron and I pulled 21 keepers just two weeks ago. You guessed it. Neither of us could draw a bite.
The wind was out of the South so we decided to drift North along shores with rocky bottoms. Keeping the boat in 5-6' so you could cast shallower to the right and deeper to the left. The gave us a fishing depth from 3-7' most of the time. We caught 20 fish between us. The largest being two 3 lbers and 1 4 lber. All smallies. All on plastics.
About 3:30 the wind really started to kick(that was the day the canoes capsized) and we decided to call it a day. Not exactly Fall fishing, but a good day on the water.
Probably put the boat away after Thanksgiving as I usually get some days in Nov. that are fishable.
Must get South (I don't mean Champlain) this Winter and do a little bass fishing.
