Fishing
Spring has finally emerged victorious over Old Man Winter in New England. The Old Man reminded us once again who is in charge by walloping some areas with brutal snowstorms, ice storms, and blizzard conditions.
With Old Man Winter now curled up with a good storm in another part of the world we can move on to my favorite season.
Spring…blooming trees, love in the air, garaged toys roaming snow free streets…the list goes on and on. But there is one reason in particular that gives Spring it’s special place in my heart; largemouth bass!
Now that my boat has been released from the ice encampment of the past four months I can once again begin my quest for the elusive largemouth bass. The hunt usually begins around this time every year and extends throughout the summer and fall, sometimes into November.
For me, it’s not about catching the biggest bass…although that’s always a plus. It’s about the hunt. It’s about gathering information with each and every cast. It’s about filtering that information into specific patterns that the fish usually follow. It’s about following the pattern to catch bass. It’s about staying the course. It’s about making adjustments when necessary.
It’s about learning what the bass want!
