2/10-Murray again

[VinnyBass]

With rain in the forecast and things I need to do around the house, I figured I better get some fishing in today otherwise I will have to wait till next week. Chatted with Dannicus in the parking lot before launching and told him I want to try some different baits in deep water today. Then it was great to meet @Dfishin while I was launching my boat. Always fun to meet fellow sdfish folks. I started trying all types of "Hover baits" and "Search-type baits" and after no interest at all from the bass below, I went back to the winter basics: ice jigs, spoons and tried a few different type of blade baits. Finally got my first bass right before 10a.m. Then after a stretch of nothing, I started picking up bass just after 11a.m. It was funny because last week, the same thing happened as the bass suddenly were more active. I only wish the healthier ones were today. Anyway, I managed to pick up 9 bass with most of them being very small. Despite having to deal with a cold wind, I still had fun getting back out on the water and someone told me a bass is a bass no matter how small it is...(Think McFish told me that..ha ha)
Counting the days till spring. Tight lines everyone.

A few pics:

Mostly small clones

Nicest one compared to the others...ha ha

Had to fizz this one

Average Murray bass that @Mcfish catches

Vinny, great job. With the winter we have had those fish are lunkers.

Good to meet the guy behind the fish. Watched you and Dannicus do what you do. I held on to a couple to try out my camera button.

You guys did better than me, I was only able to manage a couple of clones. It was great to see you both out there.

You are now a fixture that every time I go to Lake Murray, I look for you. A month away Dan and lots of good things will be happening at Murray. Can hardly wait!
