I got 30 LMB in the Everglades yesterday, but none of them were as big as this 3-plus I nailed tonight after dinner from the bank just a mile from home.  I caught half the fish yesterday and this one today on the Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Worm  -- my new best friend.

Got out on the boat for the first time this year and had a great day on a lake where we commonly get skunked.  The two nicest fish of the day were a 3 1/2 lb largemouth and a little tiger Muskie!  Largemouth was caught on a jig, the Muskie was caught on a senko of all things.

My buddy and I had a great day on the water Sunday. Could have done without the rain mid day, but we expected it and decide we needed to fish anyway. 

Between the two of us we put 30 bass in the boat. Handful of dinks and the rest 1-2lb males that were buried up in cover on the banks, right where they should be. Didn't ever hook into any big girls, but we definitely saw some. Saw one that was 4-5lbs cruising on a shallow flat. 

 

Saw several other BIG females rolling and crashing on bait on a super steep drop-off bank that drops straight into the channel and 35FOW. 2 were easily 5-6lbs, saw one other that was 8-9+. But couldn't get any interest from them on any of the bluegill or shad colored baits we were throwing.

Biggest for me was a 2.5ish that came on a spinner bait in the middle of the first rain storm. We had been running moving baits and spinners and a few top waters early then I decided to slow down and get way shallow with slow presentations. Wacky rigged senko got most of my bites prior to the rain. Got two on the spinner bait while it was raining, but after the rain stopped I fished it off and on the rest of the day and got one other hit which didn't get hooked. The rest of the day was weightless worms and a few on Keitech swim baits.

Enjoyed an excellent afternoon of sun & fun today.

Waters are warming fast but the Jerkbait is still a major player for me.

Nice one, A-Jay.  Man, I love your pic quality.  I can see every detail on that fish.  Beautiful!

My wife and I spent 3 days at Table Rock Lake last week.  We caught over 60 bass in 10 - 25 feet of water on gravel points and gravel spawning banks, but nothing huge to speak of.  I saw some beds but all were empty, which was kind of surprising with the full moon and surface water temperatures ranging from 58.5 to 62 degrees.  I caught a 19 inch largemouth that weighed in at 4 lbs even.  My wife had the biggest smallie at 2 lbs 11 oz.

Whacked a bunch of dinks today on the jig, not much to brag about, but it sure was a good time ?!

Only one good bass bite this weekend, but it was one of my favorite ways to get them. The shad are spawning and the big girls are just getting done spawning and are hungry. A Savage Gear Shine Glide off a dock corner brought this one screaming out and hit it so hard going away from me that I couldn't even set the hook, just cranked like crazy.

Gotta love the smile of a happy fisherman when he’s stuck a good fish!

I’m tickled with a 3 pounder. They don’t grow up north like they do in Florida or California.

Caught a few nice ones at a little pond in the military training area. It feels like it’s my own personal pond. My wife says it’s because I’m the only idiot that goes fishing at lunch next to the impact area. The artillery can be a little loud at times.

First Bass of 2018! Air temps reached 80 degrees for the first time this year here yesterday. Warmed up the local pond enough to make the Bass start biting. Gave me a break from Trout and Pickerel. 

 

Not or a monster by any means but a great fight on the light action Kastking Calamus rod and 4lb P-Line Floroclear line.
