I found out that one of the lakes that I frequent is open late into the evening, which is nice for those times when I'm busy all day and don't get a chance to get out .... like today. So this evening after dinner I headed over there and did some night fishing. It's been pretty cold lately, so I didn't think I'd have too much luck. But the weather is supposed to start warming up through next week. From everything I hear and read, bass start becoming more active around this time as Winter starts to give way to Spring. I'm hoping to see some of that next week and I think I saw some signs of it tonight.
For the most part it was pretty quiet at the lake. I did get one bite, but he was gone when I tried to set the hook. But not long after that I saw a fish hit the surface pretty hard at about the midway point between the bank and the deep part of the lake. So I'm thinking that if I'm actually seeing a bass hitting the surface at night even though the day was still pretty cold, then maybe they really will start to wake up a bit.
When I saw him surface like that, I did switch my bait and actually tried throwing a top water lure at him, but didn't have any luck with that. Hopefully they'll start hitting those pretty soon.
