Today was my first fishing day of the year. First fish was caught on a beetle spin  like  bait. Then the next 99 were caught on buzzbaits .

Very impressive.  That's got to be a difference between Missouri & Massachusetts.  I don't know that there are 100 bass in most of the waters I fish. 

 

Best of luck!

Its a 200 acre conservation lake loaded with small bass. No personal boats are allowed only the ones the conservation dept supplies . I didnt see one other boat bass fishing . There were a few people crappie fishing . I only caught three that were above fifteen inches . Most fish were in the slot 12 to 15 inches. I kept my limit of 11 inchers . A thirty fish day on this lake is a bad day .

First 13 of 2015 all caught on a 1/2 oz rattle trap today. Couldnt get bit on anything else.

Started pouring my own jigs this year. Fished a homemade jig until I caught something. Glad it wasnt too long!

A humble little 6 inch BPS ring tail squirmin' worm. Red Shad on a dropshot. I bought a ton of 4 and 6 inch bags of these last year for 99 cents a package and they have been killing for me.

Crankbait, specifically a Rapala Risto Rap 04 in Green Chrome.

First bass of the season was a pb 8.5 pounder for me. Caught it on a six inch storm thunder stick jerk bait, about 20 feet from shore in cold water on an extremely windy day. For a second I thought I had snagged the pumping station I was pulling my jerk bait past.

Tried my hardest to get it on a Seibert jig, but ended up getting her on a T-rigged havoc black/blue creature bait.
