Cold Water ! (FCL 3/9/22) - 03/10/22 03:54 AM
Have I mentioned that I hate cold weather...Froze again this morning...improper clothing...Next winter I am going to be better prepared with a cold weather outfit...like a bib or something. Water temp was 58 degrees when I launched & air temp was 38...Wind was pretty stiff outa the north as well. Last year at this same time water temp was in the high 60s...Oh yea...the fishing. Caught 17 in the morning from 8-12 & 35 in the pm from noon til 5, for a total of 52. Bass were very active between 3:30 & 5 pm. All fish caught in the timber was on Culprit 7.5" worms & all bass caught in the pm at various spots was caught on Ned Rig z-man various colors. Fished 4 different areas today & found bass at each location. No bass over 5 lbs. today, but 2 came real close. The big sickly looking bass (bottom right) in the collage had the creature bait & hook stuck in its throat...it actually hit on a swimbait & was the only fish I caught on a swimbait all day...guess it was pretty hungry. Did surgery & swam off like it could survive. Cant wait for sunfish season. The countdown is on.
