Starting to Look Up

Nathaniel and I only caught one bass apiece during yesterday's short evening visit to the beaver pond, but we saw good signs of the changing season.

Nathaniel caught his bass on a buzzbait, and I caught mine on a weightless swimbait, which I was swimming high enough in the water column to create a little wake. Nathaniel also had another blow-up on the same buzzbait, and I had a fish tease me terribly by pushing up a big bulge right behind my lure and following the lure almost to the boat before turning away.

I'm pretty excited that he fish were looking up to feed. I also like the fact that we could fish comfortably in short sleeves! I know we still have some cool days ahead, but it's beginning to seem more like spring.
