Hello Jon and Welcome to BR ~ A-Jay

Nice Job ~ I went the other way . . . . . A-Jay

I’m a little late to the party here. Besides good times & great memories, I came home with a nice Mexican Head Cold that knocked me for a loop. Being mostly recovered, I’ll add my two cents worth. The March trip is always a bit of a crap shoot. Hoping for pre-spawn fatties was the plan. With a good majority of the bass population smack dab in the middle of the spawn, made for challenging fishing and a good show. Seeing so many true giants up shallow was both exciting & a bit frustrating. Still the 10 Amigos managed to take care of business and catch several Big Bass. I didn’t count/document each and every fish caught and some days were a little better than others. The catches were often in bunches as we would get on a certain bite for a while and then have to move on to something else. The 4 to 6 pound bass were eager, abundant and super charged. The afternoons seem a little better than the morning for Dwight and I, although some of the other guys found the reverse to be true. Flukes, senkos, top water baits, spinner baits, square bill crank baits and scroungers all took quality bass. My biggest two fish (a 7lb and a 10.3 lb fish) came on a 1 oz spinners bait deep and a jig and senko trailer off a steep bank. Along with the double digit bass, the high light of the trip for me was the opportunity to fish with a bona fide Mexican fishing guide Legend, Sixto. The man is clearly at the top of the game and someone I’ll never forget. Loaded with positive energy and always eager to show you how & what to do, Sixto is the eternal optimist. His reputation precedes him as he has guided several of the world’s best bass anglers. Our days in the boat were a combination of learning from a master, listening to stories of fantastic catches and making some of our own. It’s hard to ask for anything more. A-Jay

Thanks Guys ~ I'm out. A-Jay

Hello Jeff and welcome to BR ~ A-Jay

Hey - I resemble that remark Two days of travel starts TOOO~Morrow. A-Jay

Who are you trying to impress ? A-Jay

There's very little coverage in the North Woods - And as for my age - I'm old enough to know better but young enough not to care . . . A-Jay

Depends where you fish - other than an extra time piece - not doing me any good. And that's mostly a good thing. A-Jay

X2 ~ With Extra Batteries for it and the Camera ~ Additionally, the company of a good Friend. A-Jay

I worked for a Star dealer a few years back - fished them quite a bit - off the beaches and off the rocks. Nice rods. A-Jay

We're warming up ever so slowly. My roof snow is a non-issue at less than 25% so that's a good thing. Still a substantial amount of snow On Top Of whatever the ice on the lakes is at - the hearty souls are still driving and fishing on it though, so whatever the thickness is at, it's enough for the NASCAR Officials. A-Jay

I hear that - but I'll take the opposite approach. The sooner we get through the frozen, dirty ice & snow on the road - affectionately called Groad - the sooner we'll be into the open water period. A-Jay

I was thinking that as well. The bird flying over to hang on the laundry the woman was hanging out to dry was a little wacky too. Made me think the bird was more of a pet than living wild. A-Jay

Here too ~ Good Times. A-Jay
