Area 51 Fishing Report
First Bass Of The Season And Batted For The Cycle
Finally broke the ice and landed my first bass of the season. Turns out the 3rd time really IS the charm.
Kman and I set out late morning and ended up in one of our old honey holes. It took about an hour into the trip before I landed my first bass of the season. A solid 3 1/2 lbs was what the scale said, not too bad! Kman landed a 2 1/2 lb bass about an hour after that. In between, we caught 7 nice nice pickerel and a decent sized perch. I joked to the Kman about batting for the cycle by catching one of each major species of fish with the same lure (KVD 1.5 silver shad square bill crank) in the pond and the challenge was on. I caught a sunfish/bluegill, perch, pickerel(s), bass and with about 5 minutes left before we went home, pulled in the crappie to complete the cycle!
Not an outstanding day, but got the first bass out of the year out of way!

Mine was in about 4 feet of water and Karl's was in about the same I believe. Not much fight though at first and pretty sluggish, until I got it to the boat and then it freaked out a little.
