The stars were aligned: warming trend this weekend following a long cold streak, wind out of the south and highs near 70, big pressure drop leading a cold front to pass through tomorrow.

 

Just got back from the neighborhood pond for a 30 minute quick-fish, and caught 3 totaling about 7 pounds, the biggest being close to 4 (on my first cast too!).  d**n it felt great!  The fish usually start to show signs of life in late february around here, but I would have swore I was fishing the pre-spawn.

 

Had to get it off my chest.  The wife and baby just don't get it.

Congrats ~

 

And I hate you.

Gotta love Oklahoma!  The only place I know of that it'll be 70 one minute and 35 the next with about 40mph wind gusts.

Amen, brother! 

 

Hey, gripnrip - I'll be in Tahlequah in a few weeks to visit a friend, and was hoping to swing by Tenkiller for a couple hours (minus the boat).  I'm only familiar with the south-end.  Know of any good spots up North I could get some bank fishing in?

No man I sure don't.  I've only fished it 2 times.  I was a co-angler in my club tournaments.  I can tell you a 1/4 scrounger with green pumpkin trailer works wonders there! Don't forget to dip the tail in chartreuse! 

Post *** yet again ... There is 2 feet of snow piled up alongside my driveway and no relief in sight!

 

Congrats ... can't wait to post my 1st of the season ... even if it's a dink!

Speaking of dinks, Felix77, I've gotta say that I've been a fan of your avatar picture since the day I signed up on Bassresource!  I have a similar picture from one of my most infamous outings ever.  Fished a picture-perfect lake for 8 hours, and only caught one fish... a largie that was smaller than my crankbait.

You just described SW KC weather as well!!
