wperry Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Bass fishing in Delaware Jan. 14th. 47 degree water temp. 48 degree air temp. Rain. 20 plus fish. But boy were we cold. That spot is frozen over for now. Can't wait to get to Florida in a few weeks. Quote
Gotfishyfingers? Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 20 fish, Nice! We need more details, . What were they biting, presentation, how deep, etc? That's a spotted bass, right? Quote
wperry Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 No, its a largemouth. I guess they were schooled up. Trying to stay warm together, maybe! All were caught on Rapala SR5 Shad Rap. Shad pattern. 6 pound test slow retrieve. We also caught some very large crappies. I'm mostly an inshore guy (I have a Pathfinder 20 ft.) but love to bass fish when I can get a ride with a bass fisherman. The guy that took me along talked like it was an unusually rare good day for January up here, but these guys fish most of the year if they can get out. But, as you can see from my expression, it wasn't a balmy day. Roland Martin mentions winter fishing in this area in his book. Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Sounds like aggregate day on the water. It sure beats ice fishing. Quote
