jolicious Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I'm still trying to get used to my new phone's camera - It's gloss black base coat, with Candy-Apple-Green overlay and a little glitter in the clear coat. They look pretty neat - I just can't seem to get a good angle to show the color... This is the first time I've messed with the candy-apple type colors. It's a lot of fun to see what happens. I don't think the bass care, but I think it's cool that I can see the reflection of my phone in the bottom picture in the lure on the right (White cover on the phone)
Stump bumper Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 If it was me I would be treating the boat like a 4 wheel drive and getting further back into the creeks than I had ever gone before looking for warm run off. I got my only 8lb plus Beaver Bass that way years ago on a Feb morning after a big rain storm. But as I have pointed out in the past I am usually wrong.

Champ188 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I caved to the boredom of sitting in my recliner for the last 5 days. A buddy and I are fishing the Polar Bear. At least he's the kind that no matter what happens, the day will be enjoyable. jolicious 1

J-Doc Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 So what was winning weights or top ten? Water was cleaner as day progressed. At 9am I thought I saw a striper guide on the horizon by Coppermine. Nope.....just a giant floating tree. Several big chunks and trees early. Then later in the afternoon it was very drivable. I am glad I didn't enter the tournament. Tested new Terrova today. NoT a bass fishing trolling motor for sure. I prefer my Fortrex. Couldn't get comfortable with it fishing tight to docks or cover so started making long casts and got one on a spin head and modified swimbait. That was fun. Then after another 30-40 mins I got bored and could not find bait so tried trolling for stripers. They wouldn't bite so went to look for bait again. Finally found some. Loaded up and then finally found some good striper marks. The dang bait population is just nuts. If you'really bass fishing, you should be focusing on something the size of threadfin or a little bigger. They are VERY healthy this year. (The bass) Still getting used to Terrova but so far, it's pretty nice. I still like my Fortrex. May have to add a removable mount for it and swap out when needed? That would be awesome. Water is so high I got all the way back to the forked road behind Bradfords Nursery. Pics attached. Just wanted to see if I could do it. I'm sitting in 4-5ft in picture. Hope those who fished today did so safely and had a great day. Beautiful day. I stayed warm entire day. I think I found a system for me that works (clothing wise). Take care all! Oh.....here is my new bait tree. These darn things are murder to pick out of a net not made for them. Lance34 1 Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message.

I found water 50.3 in Rocky Branch after a quick run there. Then it teetered around 49-55ish all day. PC looks like Monte Ne did last week. Dirty. But not unfishable by any means. Need marine repair?
