Super User HoosierHawgs Posted February 21, 2016 Super User Posted February 21, 2016 Caught my first bass of the year today! About 2 and a half pounds. Caught on a Strike King KVD Jerkbait. Put up a good fight for right after ice out. Beautiful coloration as well. 7 Quote

RipzLipz Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Nice first outing of the year. I got skunked today on my first trip to the strip pits this year, so glad to see some fish in IN are biting. 1 Quote

Nice size for bank fishing. Its a man made reservoir off of a feeder creek to the White River, and it fishes just like a big one on a smaller scale. It's definitely a bass factory. 9 minutes ago, RipzLipz said: Nice first outing of the year.

Probably not near slow enough. 1 Quote
jignjake Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Ice just came off the St. Joe River in Fort Wayne today. Took the kayak out and fished some jigs, spinnerbait and a rapala x rap............. Nothin. Lol saw a few surface shallow on a steep bank but no luck for me. 1 Quote
