The smell of fall was finally in the air, and it was coming fast. You could feel the first real chill of autumn in the light breeze, and it was making the fire crackle and pop. The warmth felt good contrasted with the cool air. “I love it this time of year,” Charlie said. “You…
November can be a spot-fest at Lake Russell as spotted bass move into coves and ditches feeding on shad. You can load the boat with spots—and a few largemouth, too—by fishing ledges in ditches and coves. Typically in November, the bass will be from the mouths of coves to halfway back.
