Some midwinter fishing

After three consecutive days in the high 60s, I decided to try my luck with some pre-spawn bass. I wasn't sure how deep they would be, so I must confess I took my spinning rod instead of one of my fly rods. Mea Cupla:(

I started the season off with a nice 6lb female. Within the next two and a half hours, I landed at least 40 bass several of them 2-3 lbs and more than a few in the 4 lb range. If the weather holds out, I will get out again this week with my fly rod and some big leech patterns. I can hardly wait.

That's a great start James! It sounds like a lot of fun. Also sound like a very nice lake.

Thanks Greg, it was loads of fun even if it was not on a fly rod. I am very fortunate to live on this nice little lake. That said, I tend to be a workaholic and all too often I feel like there are things from my neverending list that I have to get done first before I take time out for fishing. I actually think I fished more often when I was still working full time, instead of being semi-retired.

Same with me Jim. One of the few resolutions I made this year is to fish more this year. I hope that invitation to south Rockdale county is still open. I have an appointment on my birthday with an orthopedic to see about getting my knee fixed hoping that will help me enjoy my Nucanoe more.

Sounds great James,
It's always a hoot at this time of the year.....those extra, unexpected days.

Offer stands and anytime when we hit a warm stretch or anytime after March 01, should provide great action. Just let me know as far ahead of time as possible so I make sure I keep the date open and don't book a business trip. I'd hate for you to have all the fun without me;)
