That is the time I fished yesterday. I got this sun rise photo just before stepping foot in my boat…
And I got this sun-going-down photo just as I was about to call it quits…
Now onto the important part of the post. My Fall fishing just keeps getting better. As you know I caught a new personal record of 55 bass in one day a couple of weeks ago, well yesterday I kicked that record’s @$$. I caught 70 bass and only 2 or 3 of them were dinks. Almost every bass was around 15 inches with one or 2 16 and 17 inches thrown in for good measure. I fished at a place called Hae Chang Man on the South West coast (near Mokpo and Yeosu). This lake is a decent size and about 99% of it’s banks are lined with the tall grass, so bank fishing is almost impossible (so I took my little inflatable).
75% of my bass were caught on buzzbaits fished along the weed edges and this pattern worked all day long which surprised me, because usually the buzzbait bite dies off long before midday. If a bass missed the buzzbait, I would flip a baby brush hog to the same spot the bass hit and I would catch the bass straight away. All the other bass were caught on a black and blue KaRu poison tail jig with a craw trailer flipped into the tall grass.
AWESOME DAY!! Here’s some photos.
By the way, isn’t all fishing FUN? 
Well it’s about time!!!
Way to go Steve. Can’t ask for a better send off than that!!!
Awesome day, Steve! You really have some excellent fisheries down your way.
Thanks guys – I can’t believe the Fall I have had, I don’t want it to end, but I have to go back to work again on Monday
hopefully they will still be biting in November.
Nomad, although this place is “down my way”, it was still a 2.5 hour drive each way, 3 hours if I take my bigger boat and trailer.
If I remember right, last fall they were still active a lot later down there than up here, and also in the spring they started biting a lot earlier your way.
Yeah, it does stay a lot warmer down this way during winter. Last winter was the first time the waters froze over down here, all the previous winters I managed to fish right through.
Steve,
Man, it looks like you’ve been slaying them down there. I went out to the river today and caught only one dink. I need to find another place to go since the river has been hammered by bass fisherman this year.
John – for sure this Fall season has been great for me. I guess I am blessed with the choice of waters to fish that don’t get a lot of boating pressure. It also helps that I can fish during the week when the crowds are all at work.
Steve,
Like I have always said, you are “El Hombre”. That is like beyond awesome. Great job.
Thanks Tex
