30 Apr 2024 ~ More Stout Brown Bass ~ (video)

[A-Jay]

Despite getting onto Lake Menderchuck early this morning,

it took me a while to find active fish.  Air temps in the low 40's and water temps in the high 40's

are usually pretty prime conditions for early season action.  But some very heavy rain yesterday & overnight

had muddied up a couple of my favorite go to areas.  So much so that after several hours of trying to make it happen there

I only had one bass to show for it. Nice fish at just under 5 lbs, but I was looking for something next level.

So I relocated and shifted gears.

Decided to fish more main lake stuff and leave the dirty water coves & shallow bays to clear up a bit. 

Ended the day with a 21.5 lb bag with only 4 bass.  Tried just about everything I could think of to come up with one more fatty.

But it was not meant to be. 

Still had a awesome day on the water, all be it a bit on the nippy side.

Looking forward to the next one.

Your tough days are what the rest of us call awesome days!

AJ, you need to be more careful.  At the 6:29 part of this video, I could hear a plane flying over.  You made no attempt to move or hide.  Maybe you could have a manikin, wearing a bright orange life jacket, to set up in your boat when planes fly over, to throw any spies of the scent.  A Pro V with a lone angler is a dead give away from a thousand feet in the air.  You can't be to careful, never know who may be watching.  If nothing else, start trolling for trout when boats or planes are within sight.

@king fisher The fish @A-Jay catches are probably big enough to see from space. 🤣 Hiding from satellite coverage can get pretty complicated.
