I have only had a couple of little one's, but i did have a realy big strike, but it was not hooked that well and got off. I was just wondering if anyone has cought anything this season so far? if so, what kind of structure were you fishing. I have another question also!! What is a guy to do if you need to find out the tempature of the water when you have no boat or fish finder.? Was just cerous. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :p

Luke, an idea I have used in the past is to purchase a basic swimming pool thermometer and tie a length of cord to it, you can toss it out in the water and let it sit for a few minutes and pull it in and check. You can get one at any store that carries pool supplies for a couple of bucks and you are not out much if you lose it or break it, the plus is they are pretty durable.

Luke, any waterproof thermometer will work, like Bryan said. Try to avoid ones with a lot of glass. One where the mercury tube is a little protected.
I have caught a 5 1/2 pound bass from a small lake-one only-used a small Rooster Tail-in line spinner, great baits for cold water.
