CK14 Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 got my first bass of the year on friday. i had to travel 3 hours to a lake that had water temps in the 50's to get them though . i fished silver lake friday and sturday, and if you live in WA you know about this lake. on friday the weather was perfect! sunny and almost 70*.....but no fish. i wake up saturday to choppy water and overcast skys. i head over to a point that is covered with trees that have fallen in the water. i through my jig next to a tree in about 4' of water and all of a sudden my line is coming straight at me! i set the hook and about 5 seconds later i have a nice 4lb 5oz largie in the boat 8-). after fishing the timber with no more hits, i decided it's time to head towards the canals. i start pitching the overwhelming amount of bushes and after about an hour hook into a nice 3lb 10oz bucket. then not 15 minutes later i hook into a tubby 3lber. and again about 15 minutes later my got his first fish of the year, a scrappy 15"er. it was a great way to start the year! oh, all fish were caught on 3/8oz black/purple skinny bear jigs w/KGM craws.

Super User fourbizz Posted March 20, 2007 Super User Posted March 20, 2007 Nice fish man! I feel for you dudes that can't fish during the winter. But I used to live in Colorado so, I feel the pain of those long winters!!!!! Quote
Cade Laufenberg Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Nice fish ck14. Those are some good ones! You are lucky that they are "up shallow" Though. We got at least a month til spawn is anywhere in the picture :'( Quote

We got at least a month til spawn is anywhere in the picture :'( spawning isn't coming any time soon around here either. this lake is freaky shallow so it warms up very fast. but most of the lakes won't see spawners till may :'(.
