This is Jersey?

bassintom · 03-20-10, 10:50 PM

Yep,it's Jersey, go figure...it's March 20th...Water temps at the lake I went to were 50-54 Degrees(2 weeks ago it was hard water)

..... It was 76 degrees outside today.. I got 9 bass in 4-6 ft of water over weeds in under 2 hours and the first hour I was throwing traps, worms and senkos..zip. Put on a Mepp's silver in line spinner and the fish ate it up.. also got 3 large bluegill and a nice crappie.
I saw a lot of fish up shallow. Just throwing this out as something to consider for you yankees. All in all a good day..and I took down the Christmas lights finally.
I'm still waiting for more snow!?!?

damn... i went today and got skunked. i guess the senko isnt unstoppable after all

bassintom · 03-22-10, 08:45 AM

Went out Sunday afternoon. Same lake, water temps 53-56. Got 30-40 Lm bass. Probably 2 dozen bluegill and I have no idea how many crappie(hella lot). I was on the water about 3 1/2 hrs. All on in-line spinners.

Cavs1123 · 03-22-10, 06:57 PM

Nice Tom! we cant even buy a bite here!

bassintom · 03-28-10, 11:03 PM

Went to the same lake today. Water temp dropped to 48, air temp was 46. Got 7 LM and a crappie all on #2 mepps silver in-line spinner. 6 to 10 ft deep.

Bassboss · 03-29-10, 09:46 AM

What global warming!?!

haha, anyways, good to see that you got some warmer temps, and caught some bass!

Mac2 · 03-29-10, 12:48 PM

Hey Tom!

Just got my current issue of In Fisherman......featured bass article is all about inline spinners......just like you said. Thanks and Good Fishing, Mac

bassintom · 03-29-10, 06:45 PM

Do they recommend inlines for pre-pre-spawn?..The bass seem to prefer the #2 Mepps silver blade. I catch more without the little white bucktail or feather on the hook. I was much warmer today and I'll be going out tomorrow, I'm playing hookey from work.

bassintom · 04-02-10, 07:55 AM

Went out yesterday to the same lake for about an hour..Water temp was 57

.. Got a dozen or so bass and a bunch of crappie and bluegill. Inline spinner

crankybait · 04-02-10, 08:41 AM

I think its time i go buy me a mepps inline spinner...

bassintom · 04-03-10, 03:32 PM

Water temp 58+.. Got 80-100 bass ALL on inline spinner. Fished from 9a.m. till 3p.m. And all the animals were having secks. Saw 2 big snapping turtles going at it, 2 swans (apparently the male tries to drown the female as it was underwater while they did the deed. Then I saw 2 osprey going at it in mid air...'scuse me, gotta go talk to the wife a minute

Rebbasser · 04-04-10, 11:36 PM

You know, tom, for the past several weeks an inline spinner has been rattling around in my head-I've been meaning to buy some. Seeing your post just confirms my hunch.

bassintom · 04-05-10, 07:52 AM

Everybody should have at least 1 #2 silver mepps in their tackle box. They don't have the stigma attatched to them that the had even just a few years ago. I resisted using them for many years,but dang do they work good.

bassintom · 04-07-10, 03:49 PM

Got 39 bass in 3 hours on the same lake. The bass are moving up to spawn already. Water temp was 66 degrees.
