  Caught 24 yesterday on a 9 acre private pond with an 85 year backseat boater. First cast from the bank produced a Rat fish. I tied on my Pink Trick Shad because my buddy was catching them on pink Trickworms and it worked. It was a good trip, he caught the biggest at 4.05 lbs .

 

A - Jay and Swamp Girl, I worked my Traps, Rear delts, Lats, and a bit of biceps while paddling us around.😆

Haven’t been able to take it out much since I got it.  Winds here have been brutal.

 

Good. I'm glad you're not launching. High winds, cold water, and a new canoe are a terrible threesome. Anyway, you don't need it now. Did I tell ya the story about you catching a five-pounder and three bass in three casts?

 

@GreenPig: We are now forever bound by the paddle, my brother.

Even though a digital camera doesn’t waste film, I didn’t waste the time to take pics of the two dinks and one superdink bass I caught today. I beat the skunk but that was about it. Two on a Zoom Trick and one on a Yum Dinger. 
 

Oh well! It’s only mid-March lol.

Really slow start to the year but finally on the board with a 4lber. 4.25 if you count the trout she puked out.

The Bill Dance hat + the drum + the smile = I laughed 😂

The ice came off late thursday, and I got the canoe in for friday and saturday.  Ended up with 25ish bass, a really big and pregnant perch, and a few snagged shad over the 2 days, most came from a wind pounded shoreline.  The shallow, dark dirty water was probably a few degrees warmer and held a lot of 4" gizzard shad.  I had 3 over 4lbs by my estimation.  Caught them on a blade bait, underspin, jighead minnow, hair jig, Duel shad crank, and a TB DD crank.  This is probably the best I've ever done the day after ice out.

A FAT healthy fish that slammed the spinnerbait yesterday for me.  Missed a couple mega giants on the weightless fluke fished super erratic around spawning areas.  Missed 2 more on the spinnerbait.  They are definitely on the move!  Big things coming up shallow I reckon!

Those misses are so exciting. Did you hook one of the megas even for a nanosecond?

They truly are - any sign of them is like winning the lottery for a big girl man like myself.  Any time you get one to reveal herself you know you could be dealing with her in that area for a good while this time of year.  Very exciting with a tournament on said lake this coming Saturday!  😉🙂

 

Thankfully I don't think I poked either of the big girls - meaning - they could play.  😎

We went out on Alqueva yesterday between storms. Water clarity was anywhere from about 5-6 feet of visibility in more protected creek arms to just 6 inches near the dam, and the lake was only 8 inches from full pool. We were on the struggle bus for a while but eventually found some active fish. 

 

I was surprised cranking was *not* the deal. I got one to chase my bladed jig but couldn't get him to commit. 4 and 5 inch paddle tail swimbaits on jigheads and jerkbaits were the deal for the guys. I couldn't catch anything on either of those so I switched to the bladed FlashMob Jr. and finally got bit.

 

This was my only fish, but at 4lb 11oz it was the biggest fish of the day and my biggest so far on the A-rig. Between the three of us we probably only caught about 6 or 7 fish, plus another 4 that broke off, but they were all solid 2-3 pounders.

@JohnFromLisbon: John, I'm stating the obvious here: BEAUTIFUL BASS! Dark bass before a dark sky. Such a cool photo.

An hour today produced this little guy. It was mighty cold out there and the water was 2' high.

I went back where we caught countless fish yesterday, water was ruined and got the ole 2 hour skunk. All the thunderstorms turned it to yohoo drink with big waves, this water was green 20 hrs previous
