I stopped over at CJ a couple days back for some early evening fishing. I marked one fish, got him to strike but I whiffed. That is for the fish and he split. I only spent an hour and a half there just trying to locate something but.... nothing.

If anyone has been there recently and has had luck please post. I was there two weeks ago and could locate anything then either. If anyone has had any luck there recently please leave your comments. At some point I know the Crappie will make their way back to the docks. At least I'm hoping they will.

My son is here today home from the Marines. My wife is ecstatic. This is a great day to be thankful.

Look at the group

Hey who is who left to right???

3-8 would be a time I could make. This is a busy time of the year where I work and Saturday morning are no good more often then not. My son will be home from the Marines this week so the next couple weeks are out for me regardless of time more than likely.

In general were there many fish caught? Did everyone catch fish or was it spotty. I worked and didn't make it so I went to CJ Saturday evening. I walked on every dock I could get on and never marked a single fish. They must be in the North end I suppose.

Seen a couple snow flakes last night and this morning. Ice is on its way.

Snow flakes a blowing this morning as well. Made my mind race a bit on my way to work.

Grand Lake St Marys got our first frost of the year and also had 29F.  Vexilar batteries are charged and ready to go.  This will probably jinx the season.

I haven't organized my gear yet, probably sometime in November.....

That's my game plan for this weekend

Well it looks good for the home team. At least that is what the experts are saying in regards to a cold Winter if that's what you want. I'm guessing we all fall under that category.

As of now the current surface temperatures in the Pacific ocean are below normal. If that continues to hold and Scientist believe it will,  we will get A La Nina Winter.

What does that mean for us in Ohio? Cold arctic air for extended periods through Winter which is exactly what we need. Especially after last season.

I hope to walk on water this year at Lake Erie. That would be a first for me.
