A favorite passtime



March 10, 2009 this is the first bass of the year, it's about 11 1/2 in. long, The angle distorts the picture and does not give the true size to the bass. This is possibly the worst way to take a picture. I ended up catching eleven bass in 1 1/2 hours . We have this large pond right in front of the house.





This is the bait, I worked it slow, cold water and the fish are still lethargic, about one foot under the water. After 1 1/2 hr, they quit hitting. I needed to change baits but was already tired so back to the house I went. I can catch fish anytime, and have proven this to my wife on several occasions. Water temp/color, time of day, barometric pressure, clear/overcast,..ect. All you need to do is read these factors, match the bait and cast.
The fish are always in the water, you just need to know what/how to offer them the bait. Fishing is just a matter of matching the conditions with the presentation. I used to fish somewhere everyday, boy those were the days.
