I spent three days out on a couple of different lakes this first week of the MI C & R bass season.

It sure felt good to get back out on the water and putting a few bass in the net always makes me smile.

  Two days on one lake and the third on another.  The water color & clarity difference will give it away as to which one is which.  The ice went out on each a couple of days before I fished them.  Water temps were averaging in the mid-forties and the fish certainly acted it.    I had success on a squarebill, lipless crank, and a jig & craw on the first lake; and then light lining a tube on the second produced fish.  Late afternoon was best. 

 

  Starting out this year with a new video set up (Garmin Virb) and I’m still working on the editing deal.  Seems it takes as long to edit these as it does to catch the bass.  I’m hoping to get better with time.

Forecast for the next few days is calling for rain and I hate to say it, snow – so I’ll have to wait a bit before getting back at it.

Well it has been a looooong winter. Glad to see you out there catching some.

Enjoyed your video Andy, nice bunch of hefty smallies from 44-deg water!

Your boat is a Mean Machine.

I dig that handy tool board & those vertical rod holders, that's good stuff you don't find on $50k bass boats

Thanks Roger -

 

I have a lot of hours in that Old Town.

 

It's helped me have a ton of fun and even catch a few fish along the way.

And where can I find this video?

My love for pike boats has never wavered, the most utilitarian, fish-catchingest crafts on the water.

It's back up in the initial post - needed to re-edit it.

Nice vid + fish!

How's the fishing been. Thinking of giving it a try this week. Never been on the lake before. Any suggestions ?
