well i woke up at about 7am. I watched fishing shows for about 2 hours and they were just taunting me telling me to go out and fish. Mean while its pouring and about 40 degrees. Two weeks ago i was out at my favorite lake and it was completely frozen over, i was hoping for better when i went out today. I started fishing around 1 pm. The water was really muddy and high, i was throwing a black/blue jig with a zoom super chunk trailer on my baitcaster, and black/purple fleck 4" senkos on my spinning gear. after fishing for about 2 hours i made a cast as far as i could into the lake, trying to cover some water with my senko. I started lifting the rod, then letting it sink. Next time i pulled up i felt dead weight on my rod, set the hook and caught this guy right here, about 14 inches, guessing around 1.5 lb . I was suprised i had caught one, my first winter bass. The colors sure are pale in the winter, but it was definatly worth going out for. ;D

Yeah man, going tomorrow whether rain or snow fishing from shore for awhile. Any hits on the jig thought about using the same thing? Nice job ;D

none with the jig, i was surprised. i think im going again tomorrow, i might slow roll a spinner or throw a crank with my baitcaster and do maybe shakey head rig some trick worms. good luck

Good choices I am going to try jig and jerkbait, good luck to you!

Awesome! Congrats! We've still got 2' of ice to contend with here though. 

Im jealous. I can't wait to get out...

Congrats man! It feels good to get out in adverse conditions and still catch fish. 

Congrats! I think I'ma go tomorrow for the first time since november. It's still pretty chilly though. Can't wait for the heat!

Congrat's!

Way to get it started... Sounds like you're ready for the next time too
