Heading to main lake tomorrow to my summertime haunts but they don’t sound good either.
I have never in my life seen as many boats and bass fishermen on water mid week in October. It is possible fish are being caught but all our holes have been covered up. I haven’t caught a fish, likely because I refuse to work for them like younger version in boat.
