Well no bass today had 20 minutes to fish, small wind today so I decided spinner bait. I did catch a pike though, didn’t damage the spinner bait besides bending the wire a little bit. Better than a skunk ?.

Hey,

 

After work I managed to land a few nice Mayan cichlids, just wanted to share. Hope everyone is doing well

Caught 9 Spots & 3 LM today.

I know we've talked about alewives already, but I'm hoping you can give me a little more direction.

I'll PM you instead of clogging up the works here.

That about matches my latest dink @treble hook! ?

Caught about 15 in hour yesterday on a jackhammer. 20" was the biggest, the rest were between 14-16".

Man, that's non-stop action!

 

 

 

                                                  

@roadwarrior Man, it was awesome! I would post the video on here but I'm not exactly sure of the rules with that. Is saying "please subscribe" or something like that at the end considered promotion? I don't promote any companies or products, but I do sometimes say something about subscribing to see more videos or whatever.

I still new here, too, and not sure of the rules, but I'd like to see that video.  Sounds like a great day (and pretty epic hour) !

From the FAQ - https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/guidelines/

"Content must fall in line with normal BassResource posting rules, outlined on this page. Specifically, you may not promote your own YouTube channel and videos, or solicit likes and subscribers. That means the "Hey come check out my channel/video!" posts are strictly prohibited."

 

So ya, asking for subscribers within the video is a no-no.

Didn’t expect much of a bite coming off the cold front, the snow and the hard freeze - and there wasn’t much until I put on some heavy metal. Picked up a dozen, and expecting a better bite tomorrow before the rain moves in…then another crappy few days before we get to a week of warmer weather.

Thanks for clearing that up MN Fisher.

Yes, that is promotional and not allowed.

Fantastic toad brother, and welcome to forum, and the best thread on the forum.

 

Love seeing another member from Alabama as well.

I can send it to you in a PM once I get that privilege ?

If I catch this fish again, I'll know it for sure.    I'm calling it "flatline"......can't ever remember seeing one with such a long portion so flat and black.   Nice little tank all fat full of shad.   Caught about 10-12,  2 Spots on the Shimano Swimbait, 3 fish on a new Megabass SuWitch, and 5-7 fish on the flashback mini.   Bigger Spot was the only quality of the day, I hope to figure some things out quickly lol.   

 

I'm scanning more and it seems to be paying off, today I really scanned the close areas near channel ridges/dropoffs, and found lots of fish in that 12-14fow with nearby ledges dropping into the 20+ ranges.   95% of them were belly in the mud mode.    These fish are in trouble if I can ever figure out a DD crank, or really just take the gamble and invest in a proper setup and commit to running them into the ground in 15-25ft of water.   I know that will work, it's just not easy to do.   Wins a ton of money by the best Bass pros, and catches a ton of huge LGMs.   

 

Tomorrow it might happen, but today it certainly didn't.  

Amazing I'm still catching the chonker Crappie after the wave of Crappie fisherman have hammered them for weeks now.  First livescope on the lake belongs to a dedicated Crappie fisherman lol.   It's the total package too, makes me drool. 

 

I'm all for it, they eat Bass fry, eat up the Shad, and aren't trophy Bass...we happily co-exist, it's those darn Bass fisherman I have trouble with, first FFS Bass fisherman and my hand will be forced ?

 

Pretty new to the board. Open water in mid-February is not common for Northern IN, but I did catch this one on Feb 19.

 

Vision 110 in 8 feet of water, 38 degree water temps.

 

6.25 lbs

Welcome, Mr. 365! Beautiful bass. It deserves a "Whoa!"

Nice catch and welcome aboard…

Thought they would be chewing today with the wind and the rain, and they were. Picked off 22 while not getting too drenched, as I waited for the first heavy line of rain to pass before heading out. Nothing 20 minutes in the dryer couldn’t fix. Speaking of fixes, got mine now to get me through the weekend before more seasonal warmer temps arrive next week and I can get back out and swing on ‘em.

 

 

 

 

To repeat myself, you're a heckuva fisherman, Team9nine. You catch consistently and you do it from the shore in all weather. 

Heck of a fish 260 bass!!!

Thx - If and when this weather breaks and we get some warmer temps and a little less wind, I hope to be catching them from the boat, too ? ?
