Well got the kayak out for the first time today and managed to get 1 little bass. I had tons of hits watched them grab it but kept loosing them couldent set the hook so save my life and I was really whacking them hard but couldent drive the hook home to save my life. I was using new sharp hooks idk what the deal was. I finally got one in the yak but it cost me my last baby rage craw. I'm gonna go back out in the morning for a bit before getting my boys in the afternoon. They wanted shakey head with rage craw today so hopefully that's what they want tomorrow.

I had a few followers on the spinner but no takers not even pike.

Congrats. Caught mine on Wednesday, 3 pounder. First of 2013... 

Mine was maybe a pound but fiesty he even chased a crank bait right to the kayak a few did that. I had a slob of a small mouth follow te spinner it would have beat my PB hands down no question but it just swam behind te spinner about a foot. I'm gonna go back tomorrow armed with senkos.....

i missed my first yesterday it hit a weightless senko and ripped it right outta his mouth got too excited my first bite of 2013

Very nice, what water temps are you guys fishing?

If I had to guess and this is just a guess maybe at the most 45* we haven't had air temps above that mark in over 2 weeks so I doubt it's even that warm. Most the lakes and ponds are still froze over here.

You NY folks are bravin' the COLD for some early BASSIN... That's the SPIRIT

Last time I had my yak + depth finder the temps were in the upper 40s to low 50s in the sunlit shallows.

 

I'd venture the water was maybe 50-ish at this fallen tree. I was shore-bound, and it was in about 2-3 feet of water, not sunlit.

I had to scrape my truck just to see to back up to y kayak this mornin to load up there was a little bit of ice in the shallows it was gone by the time I headed back. Didn't even get a hit all morning seen lots of wood duck a few deer and two raccoons go at it but no fish

Still ice on lake Arrowhead here in Vermont but I think it may melt off fully today. Not sure what the water temp is but I would imagine mid 30's. I'm going to drive down to the boat access today to check out the situation.

 

I want out so bad! But I'm only here for another month and I'm moving back home to Florida. 

 

Impatient! I haven't caught a bass in 11 months!!!
