Bass Season Opener On Balsam Lake

Bass season FINALLY arrived so I headed up to Balsam Lake to nail some smallies. 

Caught a good number of fish theses being the best.  By far my best season opener I've ever had and first season opener I've fished on Balsam.  Also have never caught a SMB on opener day so I feel I'm off to a great start!

    They should all be opened at the same time, is a week really going to change anything?  I just don't see the point.

    Nice catches!

     

    We were on Balsam on Saturday too.  We caught only 9 SMB, 1 - 3.5 lb., and missed one 5 pounder beside a boat. 

    Most fish were caught on Ned rig and Wacky Senko.

    Yeah I was going to hit the local lake rain or shine, but then my car broke down.  So I couldn't get out!  I've been waiting almost 7 months for this!!!  Ah oh well, bass season is here...just have to fish more to compensate.
