I launched my small electrically powered boat onto Horseshoe lake for a try at America's favorite game fish - ol' minnow breath or the largemouth bass. On the 2nd cast of the morning, I connected with a very heavy, strong fish on a black jig. He spit the jig - the first to do so this year. I ended up catching 4 bass, all under a pound, on Rapalas and jigs. Saw dozens of spawning nests - most with bluegill on them. Saw scores of bluegill and several small bass and one huge bass that was just cruising the shallows. First small bass I have seen or hooked this spring. The little bank runners are up on the shorelines. It was a very nice day on the water but a little too windy for good bass fishing.

Thanks for the kind words Bigbass. I have been bass fishing for some time now -- And, I am old enough to be your grandfather. I have fished all over the state and have totally enjoyed it. I live in the Port Orchard area now so I fish mostly the lakes in Kitsap and Mason Counties. Check out some of my articles in the Tackle Box Tales section of this site for some places to fish for bass. May the bass fishing Gods smile on you.
