COOL morning on Lake Sinclair

Chris Clayton and Kevin Hendren braved the frigid morning temperatures to bag some carp on beautiful Lake Sinclair.  Here are some pics:

Chris shows the carp who's boss!

OK, guys.  Feel free to net me anytime now.

We take care of the carp!  That's an official "carp unhooking mat" he's lying on.

Chris shows off a nice 9-pounder.

Another tube trip

Kevin here.  I got out to one of my favorite ponds recently in my float tube and had a fun day with the bluegills.  Here's a pic of one of the biggest fish of the day:

It's not just the catching.

BNKJ Partner Jim Lahm shows that a shore lunch of fresh fish is hard to beat.  This picture was taken at the Marten River Lodge in Ontario on Jim's annual trip with client Harvey Watt.  Target fish are walleye and northern pike and were caught with live minnows fished on light spinning rigs.

Lake Seminole Fishing Report -- October 18-23, 2011

Ken Huff had the pleasure of fishing for bass on Lake Seminole last week and has kindly prepared a fishing report for all of us.

Lake Seminole is a 37,500 Corps of Engineers reservoir located on the Georgia, Florida and Alabama borders. Its main tributaries are the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers.

The fish seemed to be scattered with no real pattern emerging. Fish from 2 – 4 lbs were caught using a variety of baits. Early in the week top water frogs in the lily pads were the ticket along with spinnerbaits in front of the pads. Later in the week the frog bite fell off and Ken and his fishing buddies had some luck with trick worms around hyacinths and hydrilla grass. They also found some action using lipless crankbaits and “walk the dog” baits like the Zara Spook and Sammy over hydrilla grass beds. Wildlife was abundant with water fowl, wading birds, owls, hawks, osprey, eagles, alligators and more. It was a great week in nature.

Hope all of you enjoy the beautiful fall as well!
