Super User A-Jay Posted April 29, 2019 Super User Posted April 29, 2019 Got out onto Lake Menderchuck just after 8am. Air temps in the high 20's but the sun was beaming. Wind came on late morning and kept me bundled up all day. Low 40's water temps saw me throwing a MB vision 110+1 and a SK KVD 300D all day. Scored a dozen beauty brown bass in the 2-4 lb class. Best fish was a 6-1 Beast of a Brown bass. She came at the end of the day and I was all smiles. Every bass came off the front of a flat just before a drop off in 8-10 ft. Sun & wind helped. Water was super clear making for favorable jerkbaiting action. This bite should get better next week. Can't wait. My PC croaked last week so the video will be delayed. I've got a sweet pic of that 6-1. I will add here tomorrow. My 2019 Season is off to a decent start. A-Jay 21 Quote

tkunk Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Nice. How long are you pausing your jerkbait in water that cold? Quote

Great question. Early morning pauses ranged from 2 or 3 seconds to as long as 10 while I was looking for a bite. Caught 3 going that. As the water warmed around 2 pm, I expected to get a few more but wasn't. So I sped up the action to almost no pause or perhaps a second at most. It was definitely the right move. Started hammering fatties in the same spots with the fast action. Just another example of how smb Love to Chase, even in cooler water. I am back at it today. A-Jay 3 Quote
