2022 Show Your Bass Off!!

You're killing them Sam!  Nice work.

Actually I think he’s a catch and release guy

[Southpole]

Here's a 5.5 from today. Would trade it for the one I broke off!

Nice! I’m assuming you’re running some kind of fish finder. If you don’t mind asking what kind? I bought a Garmin 93sv with the panopix livescope for ice fishing. I’m anxious to use it on the boat, it was a game changer for ice I’m certain it will be a changer for soft water.

What technique are you having luck with this time of year?

[bassquatch]

Thanks Gary!  Wish I was getting out more, but I'll take it!

mtnwkr: jigs and drop shot just because water temps are still below 50°.

Southpole: yes, I've become a bit of an electronics geek the past few years. It's essential for finding the off-shore cover required for year-round bass fishing. I'm currently running four Lowrance HDS Carbon 12's, two at the console and two at the bow. The larger screens allow me to split all the screens to cover map, 2D, side scan and downscan. Seems excessive to some, but makes alot of sense when you see it in action. Here's links to two videos I did, one going over Winter sonar tactics and one covering my jig fishing

Has anyone on here  ever fished the North end of Sammamish right about now for LM?

Lol. I prefer the smallmouth.

Yes. April would be better on that lake and in that area. Fewer and fewer largemouth in that lake, smallies have pretty much taken over. It's also Selective Gear Rules now because ten soon to be extinct salmon return every other year or something.

Always look forward to this thread every year. Way to kick it off with some nice largies!

[Southpole]

Cool videos, thanks! I have always shrugged off electronics, but now, like you mentioned, it saves a lot of your time. It absolutely helps with being more productive and successful. It’ll be interesting to see how much I’ve missed out by not knowing where fish were in certain areas in lakes/rivers I have previously fished.

Glad to hear it!
