About time our Governor did something right! This is the first time I have seen the lakes out this early here and we usually have to wait until April 1st to go fishing and the lakes don't open up until the 15th of April. Thanks to our Governor he signed into law that fishing season will start immediately.

My father and I went out Saturday but it was only 26 degrees out and our rods were freezing up and we had 20mph winds so we got skunked and called it a day.

Well we just got back from our second bass trip of the year. It was a balmy 34 degrees today with the same 20mph winds again, but this time we stuck with it. Long story short we caught 4 Smallmouth total. All were caught on grubs in about 13 foot of water. My dad caught the first one of the season but I ended up catching the biggest one a 2lbs 15oz, just shy of 3 lbs. My scale is dead nuts on too; I have a certified 5lbs weight that I check it with. Our total for the day was a 4 fish limit of 10lbs 10oz. not bad for our first time bass fishing in March. The surface temp was between 38 degrees and 41 degrees. He are the pics, it's only going to get better! We caught nothing under 2 pounds.

Saturday: no go

Todays catch: The pictures make it look calm out there but there were white caps.

I'm not pulling on the fish the weight was already locked in!

Nice!!!!

Love the color on those Smallies too!!!!

nice smallies you guys have there.

Some kinda cabin fever up there. You guys are hard core.

I live in southern New England and it never got over 44 deg. today. I said to myself there's nobody fishin' today. Except a few Mainiacs!!   

Nice smallies indeed

Nice!!!!

awesome fish

Thanks, I got to work the next two days but I get to go again the 31st and 1st of April. Planning on fishing two different lakes. One has a mixed bag of largies and smallies and this one again where there are only smallies. I'm trying to break the five pound mark on smallies at this lake, I know they are there and maybe a few six pounders. I've caught a lot of upper fours here
