I made my first trip of the year for large mouth. Since we had nice weather I talked my self into thinking that they would be active. I fished for 3 hours with a tube and a wacky senko, fishing painfully slow. I think longest cast was about 15 min. I might switch to anything with a rattle next. I think the down side of super slow with soft plastics is nothin else for the fish to hone in on. I'm sure we all know that lmb are extremely slow right now though.
I tried to take a picture off a goose in fog, but I bought my camera for under water pictures, it doesn't zoom very well.

I caught my first lmb of the year on Feb. 6 of last year. It was in Chambers Lake in Lacey and water temps. were 42-44. I was using a blue and black jig with a pumpkin green trailer. I am pretty sure that you have to actually just about hit one on the head this time of the year to get a reaction, but who knows? I do not blame you for trying, much better than sitting at home. I went last weekend just because it was nice and warm and I wanted to get out.

Pretty tough fishing this early....especially for largemouth. Last year a friend of mine and his son caught several on Whitman in late March using a jig and trailer. Anyway, pretty little lake. One thing I never could understand is why a speed limit has never been put on that lake. Because the lake is so small, a waterskiier is traveling in a continual circle and in a fisherman's face ever 5 minutes. And with more than one, a fisherman in a boat might as well forget about it.
