| Finally the wait is over and I found some open water. Arrived at the pond about 11:30 am it was very windy w/ mostly cloudy skies. I started throwing a bumble bee Mepps 1/8 oz inline spinner bait. No bites so I threw a jig for a little while at some brush and weed lines still no action. I then tied on a deep diving husky jerk with no luck. Then I put on a 4" Gary Yamamoto twin tail green pumpkin skirted grub and made a pitch under the dock and a subtle tap later I landed my first bass of 2014 a 1.5 lb largemouth with bright red lips and fins. I kept fishing with the grub and landed 1 more bass close to 2 lbs. I left shortly after landing the last fish at about 1:30. Does anyone know what makes bass have red lips in early spring |

| I literally must have just missed you. I got there around 1:45 and fished the pond closer to the bank. The wind wasn't insanely bad for the first 10 minutes but then it started howling! Was having a hard time casting so I left after about 40 minutes. Didn't get a hit but I did manage to try out 2 new rapala scatter raps that I got for 5 bucks each at Dicks! |

| Those two ponds produce consistent crappie for me. About 30 ft down from the platform towards the other pond there is a few submerged pipes that is always hiding something. Thanks for the update homie.. |
