Biggest fish I've caught in a while. Didn't have scales. Somewhere between 7 1/2 and 8 we guessed. Made the ole lews bb1 scream.

Two casts! Two fish! This was the second. Bass were going airborne in 40° weather crashing on shad, but They were picky and wouldn't bite a lure for nothing. Finally got a few on jerkbaits, then two in a row on an underspin. This one was big of the day.

nice work everyone!

 

spent about 4 hrs on the water saturday, had a wintery week leading upto the weekend so wasn't expecting much as the water is still very cold. Continued to move and eventually found a nice largie, hit a lucky flash pointer in the shallows. So satisfying to feel that pop on the pause, the only bite of the day.

 

Crappy pics as I was in a precarious landing spot. 3.74lbs :cool:

Caught this fatty or a white biospone worm. Texas rigged with a 5/16 oz weight. Really slow.

I think a small tube (2.5”-2.75”), like this Gitzit tournament tube (Brown Craw in pic below) is the most underrated spawning bed bait around. It’s so fun to sight fish and watch the males go tail down when you drag one across the nest. Landed 2 decent ones this late AM.

Let's do it, I'll probably be going back this weekend. With finally have warm stable weather and the full moon coming up it could be pretty killer all over this week.

Wife and I did a little fishing Sunday at the neighbor's pond. She was able to get her first fish of the year along with several others on a little X-rap.

I caught several including one decent one that about swallowed my Storm Twitch Stick.

Also caught several really big crappie, the biggest being in the 15-16 inch range.

Monday I went to settle the score with a lake that is usually good to me, but wasn't very nice my first trip out to it this year. It was much nicer this time, although the weather was pretty bad with a cold wind and drizzle almost all day. We caught lots of largemouth, couple smallmouth, bunch of super fat white bass, couple crappie, several trout, and several drum. My biggest bass of the day seems to know what to do with all the tiny trout they stocked in the lake a few weeks ago.

She was only 18" long and 3.81 pounds with about a 10" trout in her throat/stomach, so don't think "there's no fish big enough here to fish big baits".

here is another token spot pic amongst the fat largemouth ones. she almost made 18”.

 

caught 16 today on Lake Norman and once again the wind was kicking some serious butt. lots more bass boats out there too. that had most of them trying to hide from it and some creeks got crowded. i gotta admit, it blew me off some of my favorite spots too. secondary points, in some fishable wind, was the ticket though and lots of guys were just riding by them ?

11" of snow at the start of the week, then 2" of rain through the middle of the week has messed up our lakes big time, so was pleasantly surprised to get on a decent bite this afternoon once skies cleared and the high pressure moved in. Got to go well back into last year for me to remember the last good jig bite I had, but that was the ticket today with the stained water. More than a dozen in the boat today - Good times.

Finally had a nice(ish) weather day here in Omaha after what has seemed like endless winter. Air temps were in mid 50's, with water temps that are still cold. First fish of the year came in at 4.19 pounds and was a little over 18". Caught on a Z-Man chatterbait.

Took the family out yesterday for a couple hours. Have to say it puts a big smile on my face seeing my girls land and lip their own fish.

Today I tried a few new lagoons where my dad lives over at Sun City Hilton Head. There are 50+ lagoons there and many are connected by the stormwater system. Some of them are inaccessible - to me at least - because they are surrounded by homes or fully within one of the gold courses. But there are still plenty that are accessible for us to fish.

 

The temp was in the low sixties today, but as it has been for the past week it was really windy. It didn't help that I've been battling a cold most of the week, but I was going stir crazy sitting inside and had to get out. Plus, my son had a rare weekend off from travel baseball and I wanted to take advantage of that.

 

A neighbor of my father had showed me pictures of a few seven pounders and a twelve pounder caught in Sun City, and he gave me a general idea of what lagoons they were caught in without divulging the actual locations. We fished two of the larger lagoons in that vicinity for a while with no luck, then moved to a smaller 1/3 are lagoon. This lagoon also had one of those aerator fountains and the spray was blowing everywhere. Thirty minutes and a few lures later I put a Yum Dinger on the line and got my first and only catch of the day. But at 6.3 pounds I won't complain. But I did miss my PB by just 2/10ths. I could have sworn this one was over 7 when I landed it. Next time!

Caught this 6.15 pound girl today on a SPRO little John. Water was 56 degrees . It was a pretty slow day and was getting ready to head home but I decided to try one last spot before I headed out. I’m glad I did.

Buddy took me out on his boat and put me on some fish today.

Well, he did put me on one fish! Only dang thing I caught all day, and it was 50% of the day's yield between the two of us.
