Caught my first Pickerel today on Tar River Reservoir, using a 6 Sense white jerk bait.
He wasn't big but fun.

Fall fishing today. They seemed to like the bladed baits today in less that 6 feet of water near drop offs. I forced a smile when my buddy caught a bigger fish. 😀

Warm water plus cold air created cool fog. I believe one of my local lakes is beginning to turnover. It was crystal clear last weekend, but now it's becoming a bit cloudy but no smell. The water temperature still seems somewhat warm, in the low to mid-50s at the surface. Fishing was challenging for me today; I only managed to catch one. It is hard for me to tell when my lake has started the turnover. Does anyone else know for sure when their lake has?

Starting to feel like fall here in Texas, had to take off class this morning to make sure, I’m ready to go for a big fundraiser tournament this weekend. Caught them all scoping with a 110+1 with some lead to keep it down around the brush piles. Let’s hope a few more like these are waiting for us on Saturday! 🤞

I had a case of Mondays at work, so I went fishing in the late afternoon. I had two hours before dark. In the first 45 minutes, I caught five 2+ or 3+ pounders for an over-10-lb bag. I caught five more after that. It was a great afternoon/evening on jigs!

Took the kayak out today for a scenic tour. Threw a line out also and caught a few nice bass. Then the snakehead showed up to give me a good fight. Water was dirty so used baits with a blade to catch them.
