Bite was tough, one lone Sea Trout, a 3 pounder.

Back to the Freshwater of Mountain Island Lake

Spotted Bass ~ Gear Plug - Oboz Firebrand  (great hiking/oudoor shoes)

Trees of November, grasping onto the last green leaves warmed by the autumn sun, while still showing their leafless, bare, cold branches of winter, yet to come.

The term Sunfish did not fit the day, as it was chilly, cloudy, and drizzly.  And yes, that is a Mepps spinner!

Still life ~ boat gear

The air was low 50s, the water a warmer 64F.  17 bass were caught, all spots and one largemouth, and they felt warm to the touch in the chilly November air.  We fished from 9am to 1pm, drifting down the Catawba River from the Cowans Ford Dam down past Duck Cove, on a glorious Sunday.
Nice to be out on the water.
