Zing! Powerbait!

Switched out the salamander with a white Powerbait minnow. Pulled this beauty out. Broke my 5lb line at the end but I grabbed him in the mud.

Note to self:

Always bring pliers when fishing with treble hooks... And bring different band aids.

My girlfriend asked me "are the fish going to catch on to you?"

Rain doesn't scare real fisherman.

The bass were very active today. Light rain and about 56 degrees.

That's a nice bass!

I am very excited about this spring. Not only because it means that winter is over... kinda (Cleveland weather) but it's fishing season. We live in a development that has ponds throughout. Well, we have one in our back yard.

Anywho, this pond has some serious bass stocked in it. I had a chance last summer to fish it and would catch at least 10 decent (15+ inch) bass in an hour. This showed me the pond's potential.

March 9th hit and the sun came out for a few a days: I caught my first bass of 2013:

Large mouth bass 3/09/13

After that week the pond froze over again and I waited. Mid April rolled around and it was game on.

I ended up catching 10 bass in 20 minutes! Cast after cast. The salamander was killing!
