Mrs. Matstone Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 I finally found a little time to get out and do some fishing yesterday while the kids were at school and Matt could find some time to pencil me into his schedule for about 2 hours or so. I had one place in mind and I could not wait to get there. We started working our way around the lake soaking in as much sunshine as we could and it was fantastic to be outside fishing and not freezing. It seems like it has been a very long winter and I am now starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. ;D The water at the lake was still cold and a little high but surprisingly clear. Finally we got around to the side of the lake where I was a little anxious to get to. I know there is a nice little ledge there that goes from some deeper water to shallow and my thoughts were the fish just may be hanging around there. It was not long and I heard a splash... I looked up the shoreline and Matt had a fish and it was his first for the year and I am sure it is only the beginning of good things to come for him. His weapon of choice was the Ragetail space monkey. Not long after his catch it was my turn and I had one on too. That first nibble was the most awesome feeling in the world! Setting the hook was even better.;D I got it to shore it was the most beautiful thing that I have seen in a long time. No it was not huge but it sure was awesome! My weapon of choice was a jig and a Ragetail craw. This was my first fish on my new rod and the new reel I got for my birthday too. Both of them worked out great for me too. Both fish had some really red lips like they always seem to have this time of the year. Seems like the two hours we had went by too fast and pretty soon it was time to go and pick up the kids but I am planning on getting out there again asap. I hope you all had the chance to get out there and soak up some sunshine too. ;D Quote

Super User Grey Wolf Posted March 20, 2010 Super User Posted March 20, 2010 It's always good to get the first one of the year out of the way. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted March 21, 2010 Super User Posted March 21, 2010 2 hours just doesn't cut it when you're having fun in the sun. But at least you and the Mister were able to get out and catch a few. By the way, is that a Rage Tail pearl necklace you're wearing? ;D. Quote
