Got skunked

i know the pond that i fish is a great winter time retreat but this year with all the rain it is up like 3 feet not sure if that would have a lot to do with it. most of the time we catch a few 6 to 7 pounders this time of year. is it odd for bass to start to have eggs in jan feb time frame. alot of the big girls we have in the pond swell up this time of year.

They will start making eggs now. I've cleaned sevral crappie this time of year and they will have eggs. Spring is not that far off.

Heck with Tuesday what about this latest batch. Dang I bet we've had close to 2 inches already since lunch time and there is no end in sight. Weather box just went off and says possible tornado on the ground in Larue and Nelson counties. I'm ready for some boring ho hum weather, turn the water off please. I'm glad you caught'em it might be awhile before you can get back, a serious flushing is on the way.
