Went out yesterday between 10:30-1:30 on a beautiful sunny day.  Unfortunately I came up empty.  I tried Weedwalker's spot and couple others without a hit.  Water temp was around 45-46 fishing 35-50ft dragging tubes, grubs and dropshotting.  Still looking for my first winter bass.

I think I blew past you guys on the way to I-90.  I have a g3 aluminum boat with a 75 yami in the back.

Hit Washington again today with Rich Loth.  Real cold, moderate wind and no action....... Until......  Last 1 1/2 of the day pulled up on a spot and 4 fish in 30 minutes, ran to another spot that was similar and bam, 4lb smallie.  All total 5 smallies.  Weird thing was the size of two of them.  Both right a pound each.  Definitely the smallest fish I have ever caught  this time of the year.  Also had my first double hook up winter bass fishing.  I hooked into my 3rd fish when Rich started hollering about that I had somehow had hooked his line.  I'm up in the front saying , No I definitely have a fish....  Low and behold Rich starts reeling up and what do you know a nice 2.25lb smallie tugging on the end of his carolina rig.  His first winter time smallie.  Well done Rich.  Way to hang in there today on a tough weather day and stick you first winter smallie

Good Job Marc.  I caught 0 on saturday and sunday combined. 

Rich,
You crack me up!!  I would hate to see you "speared!"

My buddy and I was planning to go there yesterday, but when I called him at 8am he was saying it was too cold.     What a cry baby.  Good job on the catches.

Hey Rich,
  If the ride was getting a little rough, you should have kicked me.    I would have slow down.     I wish we could have made another pass or two on the last spot.  I know it holds more than 1 fish......  Thanks for the day and the company.  You are welcomed back anytime
