Wow, I fished a small club derby yesterday on Pelican Lake out west of the cities, in which 11 anglers did not register a single bass. This morning I decided to give Lake Marion a whirl for 2 hours before the Vikes game, got one northern on a Black & Blue Pure Poison chatter style bait. I found some bluegills hanging around some old coontail clumps on a steep bank, that is where the northern came, but I could not find a bass to cooperate.
Going back to my Pool 2 outing, I have not caught a keeper bass in 3 tries 
Pretty soon it will be winter smallie time, I am sure I’ll get it back on track soon enough.
