There was ice in the smaller coves and the entire north part of the pond was covered with ice. But Lori was able to pull this one out. John

That is a really nice bass! Were you able to measure/weigh it?
What did she catch it on? I think I'll go fishing in my pond today,since I brought back some shiners from a smallmouth trip last week.

You are doing good things in that pond to raise fish. Lori is testimony that LMB do feed in 40F water. What are your species of forage fish?

The battery was dead in the scale, so no weight. I would estimate about 8 lbs. It was caught on a 4" curly tail grub. We catch a lot of fish on these grubs, crappie and LMB.

Can you tell me more about how you caught this fish?

What kind of retrieve did you use? What depth? What color grub? On a jig head?

The reason I'm asking is because I just fished all weekend in similar conditions and caught nothing frown

The lake was very clear, at least 6’ visibility. Just a white grub on a jig head, I think the head was orange. Medium retrieval, staying close to the bottom. This one was caught about 4’ off the bank, less than 10’ depth. The fish were not active at all. I had one bite all day, and I think that was a crappie. Lori caught 1 other LMB, about 17” long. That was all, about 3 hours fishing. This time of year it is tough to feel a bite, most of the time you just feel weight on your line.

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
