Late-season bass fishing still productive
Saturday, November 11, 2006
By Bob Gwizdz

MT. CLEMENS -- Joe Balog thinks bass anglers who have already put away their fishing rigs for the season are missing the boat.

Balog, who proved recently that he knows a little bit about bass fishing by winning the $62,000 first prize in a BASS tournament on Lake Erie, says bass fishing can be good right until ice up. More...

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
Unless clearly stated as such, opinions expressed by Dan Kimmel on this forum are not the opinions or policies of The Bass Federation of Michigan.

He is right on the money.  Some of the best days I have had on the water were late in the year.  When I lived in upstate NY, we fished right up until the lake froze.  I even remember a few days when there was ice on the north end of the lake, and I was whacking smallies in that 33 degree water. 

Check this out from a few years ago...

In NY we started an "Iron Man" circut, ran a few events in November and December.  Not a huge turnout, but we usually had 10 - 15 boats show up, if the weather was nice we could get 20 - 25.  Those were some HUGE weigh-ins.

Of course, when I lived in Oklahoma, the tournaments never stopped.  Year round!  Man, I miss that.  There were a few times when the first boat in the water had to break some ice along the shoreline, but it was worth it!
