Spent 2 days at Lake Ouachita and the first day was mainly on Rat-L-Traps with quite a few schooling fish...caught 14.  Second day caught 10...they bit the Rat-L-Trap first thing in the morning then quit.  Caught them on a Culprit T-Rex in the afternoon and got my 2 keepers. Sunny first day and mostly cloudy the second day.  Cold front went through on Thursday 11/3.  Water was 74 degrees. 11/4-5/16

Caught 9 bass on Greers Ferry on tube and Rat-L-Trap. Thought they would bite better with the cloudy skies and windy conditions but it was pretty slow. Caught the tri-fecta...and got an 18.75 inch smallmouth that weighed 2.5 pounds.  Water was 71 degrees.  Fish were 8 to 12 feet deep and nothing shallow. 11/7/16
