Hit Mason Lake today for the first time in awhile. Cruised around several spots throwin' jigs, brush hogs, cranks, and even a swimbait (I think I got a bite on the swimmer?). Saw about 6 bass in several spots, a few under docks that we spooked and a couple pigs out cruisin in the barren flats. Fishing just out from the finger by the launch and my backseater tossed his brown red flecked jig out to a weedline in about 10 feet of water and FISH ON! His first LMB of 2011 and a pig at that, 4 lbs 11oz. Nothin for me but you couldn't beat the smile on his face and the excitement on the boat from there on out. Mason still looks pretty dead vegetation wise and there was a lot of algae everywhere. Tight Lines all!
