I fished my most favoritest pond ever from 2:30 a.m. to 8:30 am. The fishing sucked (as is often the case at Batterson) but it was a beautiful night to be on the water. No wind vortex, rain held off, air temp was a comfortable 61 degrees, police patrolled the lot. Caught one mediocre largemouth, a 17" walleye, and a ROCK BASS.  I spent about 75% of my time throwing west coast topwaters (wishful thinking) but I caught all 3 with the black/silver spinnerbait.

| I got there at ten of 9, must have just missed you. Threw everything but the kitchen sink until 130pm with a rock bass to show for it. Couldn't seem to locate any fish. Mostly targeting bass but they haven't seemed to move into shallow water yet. |

Yeah, I fish alone at night frequently. I'm extremely comfortable with being on/around water & (most) boat launches in the dark. It's my favorite time to fish.
John - I saw a few 3lbers cruising the west shoreline after the sun came up. Still very few beds.

With the air temps rising along with water temps the spawn will be on in the coming days.
I expect the fishing to pick up just before that and it will be insane for a few days. I have seen large beds empty in a few lakes. Don't forget the Big Girls spawn first water temps approaching 55+ will get them going and spawning. Then it's post spawn bass

We did see a nice bass cruising over the rocks on the left side (maybe the west) forgot my compass |
