Today was my first outing of 2007. I went down to my local pond to see what was up with these fish with my buddy. I have a Denny Braeur jig on one rod and a X-rap XR8 on the other rod. First thing I noticed was a group of bluegill right up near the bank. I then saw a nice bass crusing the bank. Flipped my jig and sightfished him for a little while. He wasn't having it at all. Moved down the bank and started hitting the spots with lots of sunlight figuring that the bass want the warmer water. Then hit my FIRST FISH OF '07. I was pretty psyched. She hit the jig in about 2 feet of water. Went 16 inches and 1.82 pounds. Lol just felt like weighing it even though it was a dink.

My buddy nailed a 2.7 and a 2.3 both on huskey jerks. All in all it was a pretty fun first outing and we got 3 fish in 1 hr. 30 min.

Oh yeah and to make everything even better... Me and my buddy now have a boat for this year when the ice gets out. As I was walking up I saw a friend of my parents and he fishes every now and then. This guy is real rich and has a nice bass boat and a family boat. So he has this 14 ft. V that he almost never uses down at the docks and offered me and my friend it for the season. It has a 15 hp outboard but no trolling motor. "SWEEET WE'LL TAKE IT!" can't wait for the weather to warm up and get that thing out on the lake. This year is going to be a good year!

congrats on a first day out.

Good job! Well done!
