Default First Trip Of The Year

Hey guys. I'm still around, but really busy. So after working to get out tractor up and running all Saturday, my dad and I were ready for a break. We headed out to the local reservoir for a couple hours despite it being a fairly windy day.

The game plan was to hopefully get some fish to hit some lipless cranks. We've had good luck with them here in early spring before.

My dad started with a red XCalibur lipless, I started with a sunfish colored one. My dad had a hit fairly quickly and landed a nice chunky fish for the reservoir.



Shortly thereafter, I switched up to a my favorite lipless bait, the XCalibur in Pearl Melon. Not too longer afterwards, I had my first fish of the year. It was a bit smaller than the one my dad got.



My dad caught another on the red crank.



Then we went for a while without so much as a hit. I tried slow rolling a spinnerbait, another technique I've had some early spring success with here. I didn't get anything on that and switched back to my lipless crank. I walked down to the furthest corner from the road that runs along one side of the reservoir. We've had success down in this corner before. On my way there, I found this big guy. I was surprised since this was one of the first nice days we've had.



I ended up catching 3 fish out of that corner, They were all about the same length, but one was a chunk and probably the biggest fish of the day.







My dad caught another on the lipless crank while I was fishing that corner, so no picture of it.

I was happy with the results for the first trip of the year and having spent only a couple hours there. He had three, I had four. And any day I out fish my dad is a good one.
