A morning on the water.
My Neighbor and I hit up a local lake this morning for a quick bass session. He got his first hit of the morning while I still had the main in idle trying to warm up the boat, but it came unbuttoned. Being that he has been skunked for all of 2011, you would have thought that Ike just lost the classic. I told him that it served him right and that there would be more fish.
We made it over to another spot where the hydrilla almost touches the surface. He was tossing a weightless hula grub when he got thumped hard. Following a swing and a miss he threw it out there again and landed his first bass of 2011. I had an IKA tied on and made a long cast to a point when I felt a very agressive strike. I lowered and set the hook and was sure I had a great bass on. It wasn't until it surfaced that I realized, that ain't no bass. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get a bass to bite. I did end up with 3 trout, one on IKA, one on Senko, and one on Drop Shot. My neighbor finished with the one bass. All in all it was a good morning.

Sorry you weren't able to nail any bass, but glad to see you had a good morning on the water and at least had some action with the trout. And that's cool that your neighbor got out of the "bass skunk column" for 2011.
The bass season opens here 16 weeks from yesterday, so the boat will probably come out of hibernation in another 12-13 weeks, depending on when ice-out occurs. Maybe we can sneak in a crappie or pike outing or two if all the cabin-opening chores get accomplished prior to Memorial Day weekend. Thanks for sharing, Cass. |

Dude you are going to have to work on your timing when you send me a text with fishing pictures. I was out shoveling snow when you sent me that pic and it didn't exactly make my day lol. Seriously it was nice to see that you actually had to wear jeans for once.
Looks like a fun day, congrats for atleast getting out! When you see Nancy, tell her I said hi.

As I told Kory via text, it was jean weather for me. I won't say the temp, but just remember that to a point cold is realtive.
