First trip out of 2020. I was supposed to get my daughter and Mom out in the boat, but things came up and it never materialized.
It turned into a Yellow recon/Bass trip.
Too much fog to see birds working, but we trolled around a bit looking for yellows. No marks, No sign of them, so we switched to bass fishing.
Steady pick of quality bass all morning. Some spurts, but nothing wide open.

3-4 pound bass were fairly common this morning.

Both varieties of bass also!

The fog lifted and we made a few moves. Spot-Lock was key to staying over the structure though.

Light Gear Bassin' was working also, but a little too light for many of these quality fish.

Most were on the 50# braid rod.

Ended up with 40 bass and a big Johnny Bass that was fooled with the big MC swimbait. Not a bad first trip of the year, and hopefully get the boat all ready for a new and upcoming season.
All bass were C.P.R'd.
Thanks for reading.
Nice session! That's a load of bass.
That's some great bassin'!
Good to get out for some good fishing.
Smiles all around, thanks for sharing
