Russ E Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 first trip of 2019. in spite of losing 2 nice bass, I managed to catch a few. biggest one I got in the boat was 3 pounds. Caught it on a jig. white bass would not leave the crankbait alone. 16 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 6, 2019 Global Moderator Posted January 6, 2019 dear diary: I threw a topwater in 48 degree water today and some fish ate it 15 1 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted January 6, 2019 Super User Posted January 6, 2019 Catching a few in between crappie trips. Will get a bit more serious with them once winter is over. Things look like we'll freeze up around here mid to late next week. But, it's already January, so it won't be a long wait 18 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted January 9, 2019 Super User Posted January 9, 2019 A heavy dusting of snow today, and highs only in the 20s. We'll be freezing up everything as soon as the wind stops blowing and we get a calm night. But, snuck out yesterday before everything went to hell and managed to stretch the string a few last times 15 Quote
lo n slo Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 great pics. you guys are killing it ? 1 1 Quote

Posted about yesterday in Hoosier thread because I couldn't take a decent pic for here. Still shaking my head at the action I experienced just before frontal passage. 1 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 13, 2019 Global Moderator Posted January 13, 2019 Went out for crappie and caught largemouth and catfish. Creeks were thick with shad everywhere so we netted some and used them under bobbers around Marinas. Seagulls were gorging themselves. Find the bait doesnt make the fishing so easy when the bait is everywhere and super thick. I also scanned under a bridge a few times and got some cool screen shots 16 Quote
The Bassman Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 What's better to do the day after a big snow than go fishing. Just a few fun size but better than sitting around. Guides icing up was the biggest hassle. 16 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 13, 2019 Global Moderator Posted January 13, 2019 @The Bassman, that is awesome! I love snow 1 Quote

Hook2Jaw Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Early yesterday morning, we pulled the kayaks off the beds of our trucks and hit the Ogeechee river where the fresh meets the salt in search of striped bass. It was my first time fishing a tidal river, and it was an awesome experience. I managed five hard-fighting river bass in the area of 14-17" long, fat little fellows. Healthy fish. I'll definitely be fishing the area again. 13 Quote
Fishstalker001 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 First club tourney of the year on Lake Seminole Fl. 2 of the better ones. Lucky for us no snow or ice involved. 18 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted January 20, 2019 Super User Posted January 20, 2019 Had a great day chasing spots with a nice mix of size and numbers... Pops with a nice one My biggest of the day on a neko rig (21" and a little over 4lbs) 13 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 21, 2019 Global Moderator Posted January 21, 2019 @Nor-Cal Basser, wow. Those are some big spots. They have a crazy gold color out there too 2 Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted January 22, 2019 Super User Posted January 22, 2019 Pics of my latest "catch"......acquired some classics for the home library: Is it April yet? 7 Quote
Dorado Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Took the kayak out to Bartlett Reservior, AZ on a very windy day. Caught several of these guys all on Gary Yamamoto baits. Numbers came from Shad Shaped Worms (Blue Pearl Silver Flake) on a winter drop shot and the largest from a Hula Grub rigged on 3/8oz Football Jighead (Watermelon w/ Black/Gold). I videogamed it in 19 ft of water by dropping it right on top of his head from honing in on my sonar. Finally getting the hang of my electronics! 13 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 23, 2019 Global Moderator Posted January 23, 2019 @Dorado, that’s awesome. Any fish finder can be very effective once you get used to the particular unit 1 Quote
hawgenvy Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Back to basics tonight. When I was getting ready to throw my rod in the truck to head out to a pond for some bank fishing after work, I realized I'd been neglecting the good old jig & trailer for months. And, oh, man! Something with a big mouth weighing 1-4 pounds was chomping my 3/8 black/blue plus Rage craw on every pitch for a good 40 minutes. The bite was subtle, mostly just my line moving sideways. But there was nothing subtle after I'd reel down and set that thick hook into mayhem! What in our short lives can surpass a stout rod, braided line, a sturdy jig, and a mean old hungry bass? 19 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted January 27, 2019 Super User Posted January 27, 2019 Had another above average winter day with 30+ up to 3lbs. Definitely the most consistent winter action we've ever had. Not sure if I'm getting better or just lucky but I'll gladly take it either way. Water temp up to 54* and the lake has risen three feet in the past week with all the rain/snow. Pops with the fish of the day (3.1 lbs) 16 Quote

Two weeks ago I was bragging like that here in IN. We're froze up good now. Enjoy your weather. We're paying for ours, but we should expect it here. 1 Quote
LonnieP Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Managed to catch a couple of bass today hopping a lipless crankbait off the bottom. Water was 41 degrees. Here’s the biggest one. 14 Quote
