The magic water temperature has been reached with these last few days of sun. Pre spawn bass have finally come up from their deep winter haunts and are showing up around the docks and rocky shallows on the north end of Paugus Bay. Caught my first bass of the season today. Fished the rocks and docks around Christmas Island where there are nesting flats and a drop off. Used a few different rubber worms and had a few strikes. Pumpkin with red flake on a drop shot rig got some attention. Also got a couple strikes using a Sexy Frog where the swarms of flies have been hanging. Finicky fish but it's great to see the slobs slowly meandering under the dock.
After I posted I landed my second...pumpkin w/ red flake...sunny flat.
