Wow, my hands smell like BASSSS!

Got out to my honey hole this afternoon to pull on some LMB's . This would be my first attempt of 2009.

Found very clear water conditions and an estimated 58-60 degree temp. Plenty warm enough to wrangle some up. Saw a few cruisers and when I threw a worm at them, most were HUNGRY, as in WHAMMMM! So I picked off 4 or 5 that way.

Also had some followers on things like cranks and swimbaits...did the drop the worm on their head antic, and WHAMMMM! Got a few that way too. I was using a purple/red flake shakey worm/head combo...a deadly Winter pattern on most any body of water.

Probably the most exciting thing and certainly the most suprizing thing was that I got a fish on a swimbait. I was pretty much just using reaction baits to call them in but this little guy decided to be tough and he ate it on the sink.

I guess if you don't learn something everytime you go out into the world, it was a waste of time??? I learned today that my basses like swimbaits, too. The fish today were mostly under 2 pounds with a few dinks thrown in for good measure.

Enjoy the pics...

MMMMMMM........If my memory serves me correct you know somebody who lives there in TL so you can fish it during the daytime. Must be sweet!!!!
I have two honey holes like that over on the west side of the valley that are kind of the same. I just have to fish them between 11pm and 6am though. Not too good this time of year at night but during the summer.......I've had fourty fish nights all on buzzbaits and spooks!!!
It really gives you a much needed fix sometimes especially this time of year.
If you don't mind me asking.......Do you get many fish over 4lbs there? I still havn't broke the 4lb mark at my two spots yet and I've caught hundreds of bass there.

Love the title of the post by the way.....LOL

Keep up the good work and thanks for the report from the east side!
