Caught a nice rainbow on a jerkbait at the Mountain Lake last weekend, first fish of the year, but I turned it loose. Hard to catch them up there this time of year, if I would have had a few more bites I may have tried to make a meal, but I had to work for that one fish. Still fun though.

Hoping to get out this week for spring break. Maybe hook into some big blues. Hoping for a giant so I can watch my son land a monster

I have two fishing days scheduled for next weekend. We fish for anything that grabs our lures. It has been probably 6-7 months.

Lake gets stocked over the Summer as well, so they are a lot easier to catch on dough baits...especially after they stock it. Using dough bait they always swallow it, and Trout being somewhat delicate, you have to keep those fish or they would die otherwise. Kind of mindless fishing if you ask me, it's much more challenging catching them on lures, and you have the option of releasing them. I do eat them from time to time, they are pretty dang good. I usually target Bass up there, and that was what I was actually going for when I landed that Rainbow, but being an Alpine lake at high elevation, the Largemouth stay relatively small, I always release those...I just like catching them. |

I went yesterday. Skunked! Not even a bite. I can't remember the last time I got skunked. It's been years ago. It was, however, a great day. Got out of the house and on the water and did some fishing. There was a front moving in yesterday and I think that had a lot to do with it.
Oh well, I'll be back at it as soon as I can.

Lake where we have our Cabin is a high altitude alpine lake that freezes over in the winter, so the climate is different and it's also not very big...roughly 10 acres. Also, I believe the Bass in the lake are Northern Strain, so they are naturally pre-dispositioned to be smaller. It stays fairly cold up there until early May. I've actually been on my boat, in May, fishing while it was snowing. That said, there are some 5-6 pound bass in the lake, I've seen them caught, but I haven't caught one yet myself. Maybe about a 3 pounder at best for me. Good thing is, the lake doesn't see a lot of pressure from Bass fisherman, as it's primarily a Trout lake. |

Slow bite but big bass are starting to be active. I caught a 23 inch bass yesterday on a black and blue jig with a motoroil lizard

Went into work the other day and my buddy had a 5 gallon bucket full of 7-9oz bank sinkers. Gave me a handful of em.
I feel kinda bad now. I finally caved in a deactivated my Facebook, so I'll miss out on a lot of fishing stuff this summer (until i turn into a pussy and bring it back) so now this thread is my only source of fishing talk. After St. Patricks day and liberals bitching about people drinking irish car bombs and that being offensive, i have had enough. |

People wait too long to start fishing. Pre spawn can be some of the best for all species. I have been doing great on crappie from the shore for over two weeks now. Even ran into a few nice bass though I haven’t targeted them specifically yet. After this little cold spell ends with a nice few days I will plan to get the kayak out and target those active bass.
I took home six this day but could have had way more. I left because I planned to go back with my dad and sure enough that day we took home 16. Really good size ones too. Most about 12 inches with a few 13s and only a couple under 12 inches. I love those isolated spots on the rivers above reservoirs. rel="Lightbox"?s=7402b62d14e625813668effc1fd1420e&attachmentid=116104&thumb=1&d=1521517167" class="thumbnail" border="0" alt="Click image for larger version Name: IMG_0278.jpg Views: 419 Size: 97.9 KB ID: 116104" style="margin: 2px" /> |
