OK, so spring is here and even though I live in the state of Ohio and the weather is absolutely crazy here, its still making me happy that winter is pretty much over here. Dont get me wrong its supposed to be like a high of 41 degrees today, but it is suppose to warm up later on this week into next week. But regardless of what crazy weather mother nature throws at us in Ohio I am still excited because spring means pre spawn bass fishing. I love fishing for bass especially for smallmouth and I cannot wait to get on the river to catch some fat smallies.
I went fishing at the New Concord resevoir yesterday and tried out the trolling motor I just bought. I bought it used and to my suprise the forward controls now go in reverse and the reverse now goes in forward. This pissed me off and I tried to fix it but no luck. My flat bottom boat also has a tiny hole in it now, so it is taking on water. And to top it off I didnt catch anything. I was in a bad mood about everything but I decided to try out another spot, which is a farm pond that I have permission to fish at. I brought two rod and reel set-ups with me. One was a 30 dollar ultralight setup I have to mess around on and the other was a very nice berkely/daiwa baitcasting setup Ive had for about three years now that cost me over 200 bucks. Well it was just my luck that about four inches of the tip broke off of my baitcasting setup. I was so effing pissed, and I only caught one measly bass that was a little over a pound. To say the least yesterday wasnt my day.
I'm not going to let my misfortunes slow me down though. I cannoty wait until the weather gets a little warmer, and more stable, so I can start throwing topwater baits. Topwater baits are my absolute favorite to throw, because the way a bass smacks these baits literally makes your heart pound. I love it. Buzzbaits and frogs are my go-to choice for top water baits. I like frogs because you can even use them in the summer months when algae plays a factor.
