Cabin fever? Not when you live in California! It was like 80 degrees outside today, haha. Its been slow at the Lagoon though so I've been doing some harbor missions. Been catching a bunch of these guys.. They fight a lot harder than largemouth!

Night is even more fun..

Joey and I got out there on Saturday... found a local pond that had some open water. We managed to catch 5 largemouths in total... biggest was about 3 3/4 lbs. Should have taken some pictures, but it was so freakin' cold out... we just wanted to catch a few and get back indoors! lol It felt really nice to feel those cold water largies pulling... Going again this Saturday… we’ll try and remember to take some pics.

Ok no more trips to Bass Pro everytime I go in there I spend 300 or more. I should have enough to last out the season. I can only make 28 tourneys this year. Some of them are on top of each other so I don't want to kill myself.

Well the first tourney of the year was fun. On the bad side I only weighed 9lbs. A cold front moved in and the bite died. the fish were suspended and hard to find. But caught a few on a lipless crank. The lake was really nice alot of stickups laydowns and rock drop offs. The big fish was 6.5lbs LM we did have a nice 5.5 smallie during prefish. The water temp was only 48 but by afternoon it was 51 and very clear on the main lake 15' and a little stained in the creeks with about 10 to 8 ' visibility. As always had a great time !
