It's cold, it's cold! Fall is here and the lake is holding on to a few degrees of summer. I know this because the rockbass haven't gone to sleep yet. There's a couple fish to be caught, and always the chance of a largemouth, or trout, especially the elusive brown trout. With the early sunset now, all my evening fishing is basically pitch dark with a headlamp.

I started out with a 4inch tube on a drop shot rig which got lots of bites but only one hook up. So i put a much smaller and thinner worm and started catching smallish rockbass here and there. Then i got this little surprise, a Cat Fish! I'm not really sure what kind. It was small, 6-7inches. I've never caught any sort of catfish before, so it was real treat to find something new, especially in my home lake.

Back to the water after the pic.

I need cold weather fishing gloves, brrr! Or a fishing trip to florida. (yes please!)
