After the cold

Featured Replies

The weather has finally gotten better allowing us to start again where we left on at the end of December.

Although a bit cool on Tuesday morning, the frequent catching and the quality of the fish kept us nice and warm. For this day, Don, Bucky, and myself would see 29 bass, caught between 8:15 and 2:00, come over the rail. We missed and equal amount if not more, to the heavy grass and pads that you can see in the pictures. It's amazing how hydrilla will remove a hook quicker than your fingers can.

Closing out the day at 2:00 I headed back to the ramp only to discover a major faux pas that occured in the AM. I left the headlights on! It's not easy to jump start a diesel, so we had to remove batteries from boat and truck to get things going again.

Water temps: high 50's

Air temps: 41-72

Water clarity: crystal clear

Primary bait: Senko and Swimming Senko

Line used: 20 - 30 pound

Rods: 7.0' MH

For those wondering: Lots of Tilapia and Plecostomus pepper the surface of the water. These non-native fish have a water temperature tolerance to about 55 degrees. Everything else in the area fared very well. Although it was very cold the bass continued to eat well as every fish we caught was healthy and fat.

I must say I am jealous again, can't beat two days of this!

What a great day!  Congrats!

Sounds like a good day. Congrats.

I've kept the lights on too. ;D
