1-1-15 First Bass of the Year
There was lots of ice in all the protected areas, so I had to go to plan-B. Fished my P&G to no avail for about an hour. Switched to a senko-like soft bait and drug it across the bottom slowly just hoping for a dink to start the year off. Was about to give up and felt a slight bump. Pulled the line tight and there was a good pull-back. I could tell it was a good fish, but it was sluggish during the fight. Got her to shore and measured 20.5" and weighed in at 5 lbs 1 oz (5.06 lbs). Nice way to start the year

Yeah, lost another one today in the same spot that was 3-4 lbs. Came unbuttoned at the shoreline before I could get a grip on it 
.
Got another set of weighing scales yesterday that weigh to 0.01 lbs...........can't wait to use them!

Nice fish Curly! Gives me hope that I can get some lines wet soon! Any idea on water temp? Anyone have an idea of when they usually start pre-spawn around here?

Re: 1-1-15 First Bass of the Year
Water is probably around 35. Pre-spawn usually starts around 2nd week of April......depends on water temp.
