10/25 report

[Marc Arena]

Took my boat to school Thursday so I could get a few evening hours in on the river to catch what was probably the last bit of really nice weather this year....and maybe catch a muskie as well. Felt good to get out.  Cast weeds for first hour, didn't see much life.  Moved to UN2 for a jig drift, caught a 35" on a smoke tube.  Satisfied with that, I moved to the East river for some bass fishing.  Caught a nice mix of LMB and SMB shallow and deep, less than a dozen fish but good quality.  Many were between 2 and 3 lbs, very deep bellies.  LMB were in docks, and caught on spinnerbaits.  SMB were caught on a dropshot 20-22ft mid river.  Lots of big recreational boats out wasting gas, but besides that a very enjoyable few hours.
