Blount, Illinois

Nice to see a decent smallie after weeks of dinks. Maybe the change in seasons will bring a change of luck. Half a dozen others, all on hybrid silicone hair jigs.

Tough go but managed a few! Good luck everyone!

Just when you think you have it figured out, you almost take the skunk. And the bass isn't even a smallie! Honestly though, can it really be called a skunk when you're in the stream on a terrific fall day? I think not.

What a difference 10 days makes. Water temp from 71 to 58, viz from <6" to > 3', smallies from near negative to positive mood. Over a dozen smallies bt 12" and 15" as well as PB 10" rock bass and a mussel just for heck of it. Great day to be in the water!!

Nothing but dink smallie, dink smallie, rock bass, rock bass. Then.....Holy Cow, where'd that fish come from!!! Sweet way to end the day. 18"
