haha bill posing for the people on the road

and my last of the day

A good first day out I would say.

hahaha as you can see i wrecked my pants getting on the boat

nice draft all day ;D

Nice job.

But you live in Canaan! If I lived there I would be on East Twin every day! There is no need to fish any other lake. ;D

Awesome Job Man!!

Nice job! Great to see some  early Spring bass from the North

Any idea on how deep you found them? Water temp? and what kind of CB you were using?

I usually don't fish this early but it's been pretty nice out, I took the little boat out today to a trout pond to try for some giant bass that might have become active due to the trout stocking...well I couldn't find any. I was marking fish suspended at 13' in 25' of water consistenly but they wouldn't fall for my jerkbaits. Water temp was 45*

we were in about 5-10ft of water. I was using a small baby bass colored rapala dt, he was using bomber a's in the same color  

A good day for the first day out
