First trip out of 2020. I was supposed to get my daughter and Mom out in the boat, but things came up and it never materialized.
It turned into a Yellow recon/Bass trip.
Too much fog to see birds working, but we trolled around a bit looking for yellows. No marks, No sign of them, so we switched to bass fishing.
Steady pick of quality bass all morning. Some spurts, but nothing wide open.
3-4 pound bass were fairly common this morning.
Both varieties of bass also!
The fog lifted and we made a few moves. Spot-Lock was key to staying over the structure though.
Light Gear Bassin' was working also, but a little too light for many of these quality fish.
Most were on the 50# braid rod.
Squatch and his braid-picking skills.
The tools of the trade.
Ended up with 40 bass and a big Johnny Bass that was fooled with the big MC swimbait. Not a bad first trip of the year, and hopefully get the boat all ready for a new and upcoming season.
All bass were C.P.R'd.
Thanks for reading.
