First meet up of the year ,
First fish of the year !
I met up with my fishing buddy at our first boat ramp of the day around 11:00 am .
Weather was sunny and already mid fifties with a wind that seemed to come and go .
The water was the lowest I’ve seen in years and stained .
I started out fishing a slip float rig but after several casts realized I need heavier than 2# line for slip floating .
My line snapped during a cast just at the top of my swivel and I lost everything.
I switched over to a Sowbug Trout magnet and never looked back .
It was at our second boat ramp , that I caught my first fish of the year , a small LM . This was after missing one that hit right at the bank .
That’s was all for that ramp .
Our third and final stop was at a busy ramp for Friday in early February.
We constantly had to move out of the way for folks unloading and loading boats .
We had a couple guys apologize for messing up our fishing , but in actuality it seemed we would get a strike after the boat motors stirred up the water on the ramp .
Seem to attract fish .
I caught a nice spotted bass and a fat green sunfish. My buddy caught three bass on his roostertail from 8-12” .
I lost another bass that came unhooked and had another green sunfish get off .
We didn’t tear them up , but it’s better than a skunk .
And it was the nicest day we’ve had in quite awhile. Ended up in the mid sixties.
We headed home around three .
Combo used mostly today was a 6’3” Abu Garcia MB 3 with a Shimano Soare XR 500spg and 2# P-Line .
Nice bass, haven't caught one yet this year. Seen a few cruising shallows but not eating my jigs.

That MB gets a lot of play, must be a good setup. That’s a good bass that always makes the trips a bit better. I haven’t fished the fresh water for a while except for a couple of trolling trips. If the rain ever lays down and lets the river slow down I might be able to go play. Glad y’all had a good time. Wind and temps lately haven’t been friendly here.
