Anyone started this year? Had first tournament of the year last saturday, came in 4th. It was good to be fishing again. Water temp is hovering around upper 40's this way.
I did the Wild West bass trail event at Clear Lake CA a two weeks ago... that lake is a fish factory.
The columbia river is on fire right now and I may have to hit it this week. My local small lake is usually slow at waking up... but this is the time to catch the big girls.
Bank fisherman checking in. The largemouth in my area just started coming into the shallows where I can catch them. I've caught 56 in the past two weeks. Mainly dinks but a few just over a pound. I've been catching them on a 1/16 oz Blakemore Road Runner and a 2" black/gray swim bait with a 1/8 oz ball jig head. Hopefully in another few weeks the days will be a bit warmer and the bigger bass will be around.
Hurt my animals and I will unleash a level of crazy that will make your nightmares seem like a happy place.
