    Default Big Pond On Monday

    I will start out by saying that is as cold as I have been all year. Went through about six pairs of gloves and my boots leaked so I was miserable. The fishing was very good. We started in Wilborn but the wind got bad so we hung in there for three hours then we went to Okaw and got out of the wind somewhat and we really got into them but soon the mud coming in off the bank destroyed that pattern. We then went out on the channel and fished about ten feet deep on standing timber that worked as well so we decided to go over to Junkyard and fish standing timber and it was totally out of the wind and the fish were on them as well. We caught a nice eleven to nearly thirteen inch fish off every tree. All in all we really hammered them and that is what I have been seeing this fall. The nastiest days you don't want to be out there the fish are really biting. I am telling this pattern because by today it will be too muddy. The run off is killing our willow pattern as well. If you venture out over these next few days the deep bite will be the only thing going.

    Oh well I got me some more gloves and new boots and I have the heater tied onto the butt seat so I am back at it again today. Mother Nature if you happen to read this please be gentle

    The rain affects the hunting also, but I am out in it. My dogs don't seem to mind the wet and cold. All of the ditches are full, so I reckon most of the lakes will be muddy.

    Barry, I have a Mr.Heater head on a five pound propane tank. I strap it in a milk crate and then strap it to the butt seat. It will take the chill from your hands.
