DeanFishesNY Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I'd say pretty good.. beat my last year's best already at 5 lbs 3 oz. The day I caught her I had my best 5 fish total with 17 lbs 13 oz. Been doing GREAT with the jig so far and hoping for it stay this good for the rest of the year. Quote
salmicropterus Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Like a roller coaster at Six Flags. I was about 0 for January/February, then starting mid-March got on a run and won three tournaments in a row and caught a PB 9.12 fun fishing one day. Now I'm settling back to mediocrity again. Quote
mferris Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 i have been out 6 times,i usually spend around 4 hrs on the water....approx. 24 hrs,1 small bass...and no other bites at all.....not just me though,i have talkes to other fishermen and nothing seems to be biting....i'm on vacation next week so i hope they wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Fish Rice Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Fishing has been good up here in the NW, and it's been one of my most productive starts to date. Glad to see many people having the same success. Quote
Ontario Bass Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Still counting the days till I can start targeting the bass. One month 12 days to go. Quote
backpain... Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Been out three times this year only skunked once. All three trips have been on less than favorable days. Last trip was Monday after a massive cold front pushed through dropping the air temps almost 20*. The barometer was all over the place throughout the day and winds upwards of 20MPH. Having said that, I have caught 6 bass in twou outings and had a blast trying to figure out how to fish and control a boat lol. Quote
NateFollmer Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Horrible It's rained just about every week so far, then it would get hot and the water temps are ALL over the place. Finally had a stretch of decent weather last week, so I thought Saturday would be awesome. NO SIR! The wind was a constant 40mph on the lake so the boat wouldn't move. Only caught 1 LMB. I've been doing a lot of fly fishing because the bass are on lockdown. The weather hasn't been effecting the trout as much, but I digress... Quote
Popeye Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Not too bad BUT the bite at Upper Otay has been real SLOW for me for some reason. Been out 4 times and have caught 2 bass on two days and got skunked on the other two days (even though I did get some strikes and hookups on those days, I just didn't get to lip any:o( One of the 4 fish I have caught was a nice post-spawn (skinny) 4 pounder and the others were in the 1 - 2 pound range. Should pick up soon since the water temps getting real close to 70 degrees now. Still hoping to nab that elusive DD bass this year! Quote
midnighthrasher Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 Mine starts June 18!!! I am ready to roll!!! Quote
InLikeFinz Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 Not too bad here in N.C. Best day we brought in 8 but no size to them. They seem to be biting funny for me this year. Someone caught a 10lb 7oz out of the lake we fish most of the year. He or she might have a different outlook on this years fishing. Quote
Fish-r Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 have had a bunch of 1lbrs, couple 2s, couple 3s, and a nice 5+. Quote
OnTheHunt Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 My season thus far has been pretty well. ONly one day I got skunked. A bunch of small bass, and a couple pretty large ones. It took me a few times to figure out the bass fishing here in Korea. Not too bad tho. It's not overfished at all! Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted May 26, 2010 Super User Posted May 26, 2010 I wish I could say it was a little better but nothing over 4 lbs yet but the best thing about the season so far is that my wife has joined me for a lot of my trips and has had some success and my 2 daughters are showing a lot more interest in the sport and go with me on occasion so I guess I would have to say it's been a great season so far. Thanks for asking. Be safe and be happy!! Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted May 26, 2010 Super User Posted May 26, 2010 Good on numbers (coming up on 200 bass so far this year) but no size - nothing bigger than 18" yet. The big difference for me this season was getting my canoe and getting off the bank. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1262097737/16#16 My catch rate increases by a factor of 3 or 4 when using the canoe as compared to fishing from the bank.

bassmajor Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Pretty good here in SD. Set a new PB this spring and caught few others that were very nice. Bugs are starting to come out now and the days are getting hot. I miss the days when the weather was crappy, I was the only one on the lake, and fish were really hungry. Also, got a new boat so that's been nice. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted May 26, 2010 Super User Posted May 26, 2010 I had shoulder surgery in March, so I haven't been yet. Hoping to get out during the 3 day weekend coming up. Quote
berkley Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 I have only went 2 times this summer.I didnt have any time to fish during the spring. Quote
farmpond1 Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Couldn't ask for much better. Caught my personal best (6 lb 3 oz) about 2 weeks ago. When I didn't/could't figure out the bass, I switched and did pretty well on biggish crappie. Only once have I gotten skunked and that was in the middle of March. The bass on one of my favorite ponds seem to have disappeared because, whereas I used to catch an average of 4 to 6 bass per outing, this year 3 was my best (on one day), but haven't caught or hooked anything since. Fortunately, the crappie were hungry. Quote
dday07 Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 sucks here in cal. for me but i visited a friend in alabama back in late march and caught a ton of lmb and spots on the coosa river.everybody on my local lake are having a tough time so i don't feel too bad. time to move to the south! LOL! Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted May 27, 2010 Super User Posted May 27, 2010 Been fantastic for me so far. The cold earlier this year really killed the fishing for the first month or two. March and April were very good to me. May slowed down a bit, but has picked back up (landed roughly 30 today). Water temps are already pushing towards the 90 degree mark. The spawn is over and done with, post spawn is a recent memory. On to the summer patterns and fishing now. Lookin like a good year. Starting to break in the new boat and new tackle quickly. Got it out by myself for the first time today and had a blast even though it was sweltering outside. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 So far this year has been Okay. The weather in western Washington has been colder than normal and our famous rain hasn't stopped. Most of my March fishing was pre fishing for April tournaments. Found a new pattern that should play out in the future. I have experimented with some new lures and had success with them. Made some money in the two tournaments I fished in, making Ma happy. Met some great folks ! I have committed myself to learning a body of water I have had limited experience on and had two tough trips and one good for small mouth. My first trip on the Columbia was a blast and picked up more than enough fish to make me happy. Other than a rat gnawing the paddles off of one of my reel handles, I can't complain. Quote
FutureSoldier Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 Just started the second school got out. First day I managed to snag a 4.5 pounder and the trophy for that pond was 5 pounds so I was pretty happy. I have to rebuild my tackle box since my brother took it to Fort Bragg. > Quote
kms399 Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 my season starts tomorrow I should be sleeping but you know how that goes................ Quote
