I finally came out of my winter bundle-up and fished last week. It was really nice to see blue skies once again and warmer weather. Mind you the early morning boat ride was full of winter feelings and quite brisk but as the day got later the layers of clothing slowly peeled off. Three lure choices that provided a bite for me on Headwaters and 3 Forks were a Yo Zuri prop topwater lure, my small suspending jerk bait and a Zoom trick worm in black.

This month will be a big push for the bass to start moving shallow to start the spawning ritual. Look for areas with hard bottom for fish to make their beds. The full and new moons will be important to fish around for possibly a big female to catch. Please handle these girls carefully. The next couple of months will be fun!
