Weld's Largemouth Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 The prespawn has taken some time to arrive, and lakes have only recently iced out. Got my first fish on a spro aruku shad in perch just burning it under the surface. Felt so good to have a New York bass on my line again. I also caught a yellow perch on, ironically, a yellow perch rapala jerkbait... how funny.... and even the front hook was in his mouth haha More fish will be coming soon for sure!! 5 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 28, 2015 Super User Posted March 28, 2015 Those fish are fairly dark, better record those results! 1 Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Those fish are fairly dark, better record those results! What does the dark coloration of the fish indicate? The bass' stomach was also very yellow from the cold water. Quote

Smokinal Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Was it relatively clear water? And maybe warmer than you might think? Quote

Here's a link from 2006 you may find interesting, http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/73736-do-bass-change-color-due-to-water-clarity/ Water was very murky. Could be why they are dark colored. It seems that clear water bass have very white stomachs unlike these bass. And water was about 40 degrees Quote
