So I had the day off work and went fishing. I have a family thanksgiving Saturday and busy Sunday so it worked out great. With the lakes down so low and some of the docks out already and knowing I might not get a bite I just went to Anita (close drive and I know that place really good and the docks still in :-) .. I got there 6:30am as I started driving out I noticed a lot of pan fish on the graft and sharking on the Surface of the water. I couldn’t resist and got the ultralight rod out and quickly caught 10-12 crappie, only problem was they were only 6” and not worth keeping to me. After that 30 minutes I moved in front of the campground area but closer to the ramp this time to start. I started with a blade bait working it on the bottom slowly. I could still see small fish surfacing on the top of the water. That was weird to me at this time of year. Made me think there was a bass under there pushing them but this is mid-November water temp is 46.3* bass down move that much right?? Anyway fired the 110 j-bait in there jerk/jerk wait about 10sec and about get rod pulled out of my hand. Nice 3lb. Few casts later another 2 1/2lb I decided to try a zoom fluke on a weighted hook, probably 1/8oz I’m guessing. I worked it just like the jerkbait, got 2 nice keeps doing that to. Tried the jig and no bites. About 9ish the bite just quite . I made a few move trying more structure spots, road beds, steep drops, flats ect and I never got a bite the Rest of the day. Not what I was thinking lots of time the bite is better later morning early afternoon not the case for me yesterday. I left about 2:30.
I’m hoping to get out twice over the thanksgiving holiday next weekend also hoping to get to a different lake then Anita I love that place but it gets old sometime. On the other hand driving over a hour only to get zeroed is rough, never know this later in the year how it will go.
