With Bobct only getting one fish at Pataganset on thursday, we headed for Powers to try our luck. Worked the ripraff and rocky shorelines as well as some drop offs with white crankbaits,jerkbaits,hair jigs and crawdads. Had a few follow the cranks, but no takers. Had one pickup my crawl and spit it out just as fast. At 12 I changed to a senco and in a few cast got a hit. Set the hook, but it felt like he spit that out as well. While this was happening the wife was calling me on the phone, Evil or Very Mad

so I talked to her for a minute then hung up. As I was reeling in the bass was still hooked, Shocked

Boated a 2.7lb bass for the first fish of the year. Also the only fish for the day. Now to try and find someplace quiet next week.
