Mike and I did an afternoon float. There were some storm that come through yesterday and knocked a bunch of dead grass loose that made it a little tougher than last time. The water temp is till hanging around 76 degrees in the afternoon and bass are chasing good. We did have a little wind but we were able to get in some cloud cover that helped with the bite.

I fished solo on what was the best conditions day of the fall so far. I caught a rain front pushing in and fished much of the day in the rain. It started off slow but as the rain picked up the numbers and size of fish did as well. I ended up catching 92 in 4 hours and 45 minutes of fishing, but also had 7 fish over 15" while somehow managing to loose two 18 to 20" class fish. I pushed forward and longer to try to reach my 2025 goal of 1500 fish which I was able to do. You never know when hurricane rain is gonna close out the year early. They were on deep structure ledge in the middle of the river primarily. The water was a perfect level of clear and what little wind I did have was pushing down river.

I fished my usual run. The bite was good from daylight at 7:30am until 9:15am or so when the wind kicked up and the fog burned off. I am seeing the number of fish > 13" go up while numbers are slowly trending down as we begin the ascent into the darkness of the winter months. I crosssed over the 1,400 fish mark for the year. My goal is to try to get to 1,500 fish in 2025.

Brad, Colt, and I floated at day break with some rain headed in for the afternoon. Other than about 20 minutes of wind it was near perfect conditions. We caught size and numbers not seen since spring, Colt was pumped because he caught a 16” fish right at takeout.
