1st trip of the year
« on: Jan 20, 2005, 05:37 PM »
Awesome 1st day in the berks last Sunday.  Ran through 4 dozen shiners on 10 traps.  There would have been more pics, but my camera froze up  ::)

Nice fish. Are the bass as aggressive during winter as they are in the open water season???

Not as aggressive as during spawn, but they rip line off line a freight train.  One of the 4 pounders had my trap dancing a jig in the hole.  Ran off about 20-30 yards in about 30-45 sec.

Pickerel hit hard too..but then tend to run a bit, stop for a few secs, then take off like a bat out of He**! ;D

I am heading back out nexy Sunday..this Sun sounds like we are getting a blizzard on sat/sun.  they are calling for 12-15 inches!!!  >:(

LOL...thanks!  ;D

I am hoping to repeat it next weekend.  That day started off pretty nice...the pics of me w/no hat and my overalls unzipped was just after sun-up.  By 3 pm I was a block of ice!  The only parts of me that were warm were my feet!  I bought new boots for this season, and they work well!

Just bought a jig rod today too!  Can't wait to try it out.  I usually just use traps, but I figure I can use a jig when it gets slow.  I will report how it goes next Monday!
