The Week of April 17th 2022 Fishing has picked up

 

The fishing has picked up recently.  This is a fish above from last week (April 17th week).  The bass are starting to bite in the neighborhood pond.  For two days in a row I used the same pattern. I was dragging a Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craw in a Texas rig scenario on the bottom and they were hammering it.

This was a fun little bite on two consecutive days.  And, it was quick...only spent about an hour each time catching these fish.  The weight is a tungsten 1/8 or 3/16 oz H2O Xpress bullet that I am using in this rig.  I did not have a bobber stopper on this one as well.  The weather is now staying consistently over 40 degrees at night too!  And, we've had some nice warm days already.  Looking forward to the spring and summer season!

Mid April 2022 Fishing Update

It has still been very tough in the Pre-Spawn season in 2022 for me. I am catching them, but not many during each outing. I am starting to catch bass on Texas Rig stickbaits though. I caught this one right at the beginning of the fishing outing and then nothing else! I will also say this special place I like to fish is getting a ton of fishing pressure these days. There have been several people fishing this place so I am thinking this is causing some of this fish behavior as well.
