Fishing seems to be really hit or miss right now with the warm trend we&#39;ve had over the past two weeks. The morning bite has seemed best but bigger fish are still biting in the mid-late afternoon in the right places. Fishing will improve a lot on Carters with the coming cooler weather later this week.<br /><br />I was out yesterday with a couple of CFF members. Dennis, Roger and I fished from 7am-3pm fishing everything in the boat from 5ft-40ft. We ended the day boating approx 10 spots w/ biggest being 4lbs and also had a few other solid fish thrown in as well. The water temp was 72 when we started and ended at 81 this has really put the fish in a negative mood. We focused most of our day on Sonar Interpretation/Sight Fishing with both the side imaging unit and sonar. We located a few area&#39;s that were loaded with fish and was only able to catch a fish or two out of each school. We caught fish on Spinnerbaits, Crankbaits, Drop Shots, Texas Rigs, and Topwater. Great guys to spend the day with and I really appreciate the trip and will see you guys again in December!<br /><br />Here is Dennis with a big spot from the trip.<br /><br />LB<br /><br /><br />WE&#39;RE ALSO PLANNING A BENEFIT TOURNAMENT FOR A VERY GOOD FRIEND AND LONG TIME TOURNAMENT FISHERMAN FROM CHATSWORTH, CURTIS LOVE.
