Super User everythingthatswims Posted March 5, 2017 Super User Posted March 5, 2017 I am home for spring break and the onslaught has begun... I expected to have a tough time today, but we did surprisingly well for the conditions. Blue bird skies, cold, and high barometric pressure. I think the only thing that saved us was the wind! Between my two brothers, my dad, and I, we landed 31 largemouth and 16 pickerel. Most of the fish were caught on a Vision 110, a few caught on some LC baits. I also landed two on a 1/2oz red rattle trap, and one on an Alabama rig. Four people in the boat throwing expensive jerkbaits and not one bite off despite the hefty number of fish that have quite the criminal record with high end jerkbaits. Edit: Water temps ranged from 48 to 50 degrees. No fish over 2.5lbs today but there were plenty of them and they were pretty! This fish weighed 2lbs flat, the reason I am holding it so far out is so we can appreciate the proportions of this fish's body, not to make it look big! 7 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted March 5, 2017 Super User Posted March 5, 2017 Nice Job to you & your whole bass fishing family ~ Jerkbaits are tough to beat early on. btw - is that red bait the new Jerk-L-Trap made by MegaLewis ? Congrats ~ Enjoy spring break, you've earned it. A-Jay 1 Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted March 5, 2017 Super User Posted March 5, 2017 Thanks for the report! Wife and I had a tremendous jerkbait day near Williamsburg on Fri. 25+, nearly all between 2 & 3 #. In the snow, even.lol Yesterday, with those bluebird skies and similar temps, we got one LMB and one crappie on the same lake....Crazy. 1 Quote
