Yesterday I went back to the spot that I have fished once before and it was the same place that I got my first fish of 09. It was a about 58 degrees yesterday with a light wind and sunny and I was LOVIN IT! Boy when your out fishing it sure seems that all is right with the world again doesn't it guys? ;D

I decided to try my hand at jig fishing again since that brought me luck fishing here the last time. I used a smalljaw black and blue jig and a rage tail spacemonkey in okeechobee craw. There does not seem to be a whole lot of structure at this place at all seems to be quite shallow and and not many places for the fish to hide so I searched for anything that was different that the fish may like. I decided to try the one spot here that I thought would be a little different than all the rest, it was deeper and their was a rock wall that I thought the fish may enjoy. Low and behold that seemed to be the spot that they were hiding in. My first cast out I landed in a tree >, after a few tugs my jig came loose and dropped into the water then blam! I had my first fish. ;D Woohoo it was great, he was not huge but it sure was nice to meet him..

Since I thought at this point that this is the spot they maybe holding out in I casted back out again and landed another. ;D I only had about a 1/2 hour here because I had to pick up the kids from school but it proved to be a nice and productive outing. All in all I managed to land 4 bass and 1 pickerel and they all seemed to be pretty healthy fish with the exception of the second one that I caught. I believe it probably had been caught before because it appeared to have an old injury to one of it's eyes but other than that it looked to be in good shape. It was great to be out and I hope to head out fishing again soon.

Hope you all had the chance to do some fishing as well. I am really starting to love jig fishing and this was the first time that I had any luck with a black and blue jig too so that was another good thing for the day. ;D

Nice catchin Mrs Mattstone.

It's nice to see someone in the Northeast getting out and catching some fish.  I hope the weather is cooperating with you.  

Very good for a short outing Mrs.  It just takes a few minutes to rejuvenate when fishing and catching.

Still too cold for me in Virginia.

You did great up in Penna.

Can't wait for warmer air and water temps.  

Half hour well spent!

Great job with the jig Mrs M.

It is very nice to see ladies that enjoy the sport too! My wife wants nothing to do with it, LOL! Great job with the jig.
