November 4, 2007After hurricane Noel had passed through Saturday night, Sunday morning we awoke to a beautiful day with lots of sunshine and some wind as well. Temps for the air were around 40 and the water temps were at 48 degrees on this small lake in New Hampshire that we had targeted. The waters are finally starting to cool down with the temps dropping where they should finally be at. Since the waters temps are getting to where they should be the lures that we pulled out for this November fishing trip were Crankbaits, Spinnerbaits, rattle traps, tube jig and jerkbaits. The morning started a little slow but we caught the biggest fish of the day on a fat Crankbait fished in 9 feet of water. As the day progressed we found that the Spinnerbaits and jerkbaits were not producing at all and the Crankbaits were the shining tool for this outing. One thing that we started seeing that depending on which Crankbait you were throwing, depended on if you were going to get bit or not. The big bodied fat Crankbait with a wide wobble was used a lot but only accounted for a couple of fish that were caught deep. What transpired was a Crankbait that was thin and flat sided with a tight wobble that we would cast to shore and bring back through the weeds in waters from 2-6 feet of water. The most productive areas were those that still had green weed growth and at this time of year this is very crucial as these green weeds are still giving off oxygen and that is something the fish are looking for as opposed to the other weeds that are dieing off, those weeds are depleting the oxygen. As the afternoon wore on, that is when the fish started getting very active and produced numerous bass, a couple pickerel and a handful of fat perch. There were only a couple of other boats out there and if you are not out there enjoying this fall season of fishing you don’t know what you are missing....
