Darnold335 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 With 2023 approaching us quickly, I wanted to start a thread for everyone to post their first bass of 2023. Big or small show it off proudly! Let’s get the new year fishing monkey off our backs. I am getting out on the susky tomorrow and Monday. Hopefully I can contribute to this sooner rather than later. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User MN Fisher Posted December 31, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 31, 2022 Be a while before you see anything from me. Bass season here closes before the ice on the lakes disappears - and doesn't open until the middle of May. So 4-1/2 months before I get a chance to post something here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody B Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Some people just can't follow directions. First fish of 2022. Jan 1 2022 around 9 am. Hopefully I'll have a 2023 one to post tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User A-Jay Posted December 31, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 31, 2022 I'll be spotting many of you bassheads quite a head start. So for now, I'm just going to drop this one off as comic relief . . . Get one for me. A-Jay 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's me trying to fish today: Don't feel bad - the local crappie 'pond' (Black Lake) is now the Township of Black Lake. A dozen to dozen-and-a-half 'permanent' ice-shantys are now up, and people are parking their cars next to their shanty...with the area near shore a virtual parking lot for the tent and open ice-fishers who are fishing in any open space they can find.

Here's me trying to fish today: Half the susky was rolling ice on Thursday. The other half was open. I am hoping/thinking it should be cleared out mostly by now. When I bought my new fishing license the owner at the bait shop said people were ice fishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to go to Panama for a Black....or if hit the lottery Australia for the true giants I wont be fishing for them until mid January. My boss wants to go to Bara De Navidad for a week around the 18 th. We will catch, lots of striped marlin, and should get a blue or two. Blacks are mostly gone from this part of the pacific, by the end of December. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
