I have to come clean everyone I can?t live this lie anymore I caught one fish @toadhunter got the rest of the 9 it was a struggle after the first 2 hours or so my goal was basically to get the skunk out of the back of the boat he might be a little better fishermen then me but I?m just going to blame it on the 2 nights in the high 30s that kept the fish from biting my bait. Hey there is allways the next trip

It was. Rained hard early in the morning so I had a nice breakfast and took my time getting out there. Didnt get anything worthy talking about size wise, but numbers wise it was non stop.

@metz12 , my trolling motor died(electric switch) in the last hour, only had reverse so I had to switch the polarity to limp back to the ramp. All fixed now.

Nicely done! And congrats on getting your cast off!  I fished echo lake yesterday with a buddy. We thought we were doing terrible. My buddy almost said to me to dump our fish and leave. I caught 2 fish right off the bat in the first half hour, then someone turned the switch off. We went dry for hours. Then he picked up another keeper on a crankbait. I had one more short on the day. No pickerel, no perch, no crappie which was really odd for echo. Talked to another guy that fished just with his trolling motor, because he had outboard issues, and he said he had to have caught 15 pickerel. Him and us came in almost dead nuts with a whopping 3 fish for 4 pounds! We squeaked by by an ounce or so. 2nd place! one boat came in with a limit, for a whole 7.9pounds. lunker was 2 1/2. He had one fish, 2 boats had 3, and another had 2. then the team who won with 5. Echo normally you need a good 12 pound bag to win, and this totally was not the case! That cold really did a number on us for sure!!

Great job landing 10 bass today.

@ProvidenceBassHunter and I fished two ponds today(2hrs ea) and it was slow, only managing 10 fish between us. It was 37 degrees when we started but at least I was able to land this nice one to help lessen the pain a little.

I am fishing Echo Lake tomorrow in a tourney. 7am blast off is going to be 40 deg! Will have to break out the cold weather gear. I'm nervous for the bite. Hoping the cold wont play a negative effect on it too bad!

Finally got my cast off my hand and decided to take advantage of the rainy conditions this morning before the cold front passes over. 
It paid off with a good spinner bait bite, slow rolling it over submerged coontail. Landed a bakers dozen with one fatty that had a full stomach. @ProvidenceBassHunter , you better bring your winter gear tomorrow morning.
