We were fishing fairly deep and as you can see here, the water temp and depth are basically the same.

This was a typical fish we were catching. Nice fat smallies like the one Noah is holding. No giants, but still fun to catch.

We also had perch, pikeminnows and fat crappie crunching the metal. I hardly ever catch crappie on this lake but late in the year they are everywhere out deep with the bass.

Blade bait fishing also makes for some interesting screenshots with all the up and down motion.

We are really lucky to have a few more weeks of the season. The arrival of winter is always a difficult time for bass anglers in the Inland Northwest, so we are happy to have as many extra days as we can. I'm hoping to get out a few more times and the blade bait will be my go-to.
