Not that I've caught the 1st open water slab around here ,but we are in them.
4 days after the ice goes out we caught 30 which is pretty good when you concider the water temp is 40 degrees and they just came in to stage up for the spawn as was evident last night .
We saw hordes swim through the creek.
I took the beard off so peak at this picture.
I'd hate to see anyone's eyesight go on the fritz!
Dude was with in today's spanking.
We caught a few bass and a pike too.
We did not get any gills which does not suprize me,they'll be in for the rearing in about a week to 2.
These fish were just gorgous.
Here's a few videos too.
A FEW DAYS LATER...
Where to start.My head is still spinning.
OK I got it,bagged work at 3 bells .My son and Dad & I hit my hole for what I thought would be good ,but so so.
I was soooooo wrong! :lol:
We caught 100's of fish.
The bass were coming..Do I love those fighters,my son does too!
The water was 50 on the nuts and we were work 2-4 feet of water.
You can tell that the water is warming,look at how black the males are getting.
T.H.E. jig was working really well.
Too well ,I caught another bass after I do not know how many I reared on & snapped off.I know I should have retied ,but I had more.
Well anyway I switched to loby's Drag-n Mags & never skipped a beat.
They inhaled that plastic like no tommorow.Like it was there last meal.
I strapped on the Drag-n Mag onto a 32nd oz jig that was white with orange eyes and a collar.
I know the 1st one caught 30 fish and was in the mood for more ,but like earlier I had more & a pike snipped it off.
Well I retied in about 45 seconds and went back to drilling them again.
To be honest I'm glad I sent them home with the 20 we kept &as my arms hurt & this post is draing what I have left.Sure is nice to not have to clean fish.
had to leave a few for seed anyway.
I had Sunday open yet & I asked if those two giggling girls wanted some more abuse.I think you know the answer to that.
I also got a firm handshake and a wink from pops,so cool.
As we drove back across the lake I looked back to say goodnight , this is what she said back.
See ya soon!
