Another Saturday on the Fox River. Fished the Batavia area from 3pm-6:15pm; overcast; temps in the upper 50's, light winds.
Water was considerably lower than previous weeks. And the record warm temps early in the week have given way to much cooler/seasonable temps the past couple of days.
Worked jigs with minnows and only managed 3 total fish between the both of us. I got a skinny 14" smallmouth bass 10 minutes into the outing. That would be it for me. Alex (skippy69) got a beauty 15" fat smallmouth bass and another 8" smallie right before we left.
Thanks for the report Jay. Sounds like you guys had a tuff day on the fox. Hey at least you guys didnt get skunked. Great looking fish and healthy. Nice job guys :lol: !
hey, not bad man, i fished the dam caught a few LMB but nothing worth keeping. Then i went out wading to get my lure back that i lost... haha it was so cold... then best part about it somones line snagged my leg and i got triped up and feel in :lol:
