Who's started the major spring fishing? I have!

The spawn is almost here Fishy fishy fishy. I know some people can fish year round in the same weather. But not here. And not in alot of other places. Fishing in sub freezing doesn't go well.

Here's what I was able to grab tonight, and i'm going out tomorrow morning again to secure tomorrow's dinner

Wish I had a tank large enough to stick these things in. I'd keep them alive if I did.

 

nice largemouth! about 18"?

 

Yeah that crappie was a nice one He's 12" exactly. He's about .75 lbs. The bass is 16 inches at around 2 pounds.

Honestly these are small/medium for where I was fishing. I've seen larger caught, but these I just what I got tonight. Bank fishing too. I'd be able to fill a cooler if I only had a boat : haha

 

the small mouth bass in the shenandoah river tend to get real active in june

 

Fishing in sub zero is AWESOME! Drill a couple holes, set up the shack and relax by the heater. Sometimes the water is clear enough you can watch the fish take your jig.

Pretty decent catch btw.

 

We can't ice fish here cause we can't walk on the ice But that doesn't stop it from getting freakin' cold. Brrrrrr.

And yeah I'll post a pic of the combined catch after tomorrow I've heard those bass are in love with topwater out where I was. Muahahahahahaha

 

Nice! I am taking the family out fishing for the first of the season this weekend!

 

I like it.. Makes me want to go fishing. Tomorrow Im kayaking with the GF, so maybe I just need to take along a pole..

 

Kayaking = trolling
