Super User Jar11591 Posted April 22, 2016 Super User Posted April 22, 2016 Hit the lake after work for a couple hours, and finally had some good pre-spawn action. Fish were shallow and all caught in timber/downed trees. Started off with this CHUNKY 13 incher. . Thought I hooked a hog on a lipless. Ended up being a chubby smallish pike. It made a run like a pike twice its size. I got a couple more decent bass, and then landed the lunker of the day. 19 inches long, 4.16 pounds and the fattest belly on a fish I have caught: . Ended the day with another good one: It was a great couple hours on the water, and I finally got the pre-spawn bite I was waiting for! All fish were caught on lipless cranks and 5" senkos. Gonna try to be on the water everyday for the next couple weeks I wish pre-spawn was all year long. 12 Quote

Roger, The Smiling BassHole Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Some very nice fish! I'm off on Monday, AND it's my birthday. I've been fishing my home lake (Webster Lake in NH). Sunday the water was 53 degrees, so soon it will be in the pre-spawn as well! Have fun snagging those pre-spawns! Tight lines! Roger, The Smiling BassHole 2 Quote

Roger, The Smiling BassHole Pre-spawn fishing sounds like the best B-day gift you could ask for. Hopefully Mother Nature delivers! Good luck! 1 Quote

IndianaFinesse Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Nice fish! The worst thing about the pre-spawn bite is that it only lasts a month or so. 1 Quote
