First Flight LOZ 01/09/2026

First trip of 2026 was decent. It started off hot around Harbor Towne with a Super Fluke and the bite died off as the sun came up. I switched to a jerkbait, got a 13 inch crappie, and snagged an estimated 25-pound Buffulo. In the afternoon I got some more bass on a finese jig and Super Fluke. Water is clear and 48 degrees. If anyone is looking for a good rod deal BPS has St. Criox Premiers on sale. I tried mine today for the first time and it was like magic in my hand. Attachment 513237Attachment 513238

Nice! Those are some good ones.

Nice bass in January, yes please. Never had much luck with the flukes, more into the finesse baits. Did pick up a couple glide baits at the sport show last weekend. You're off to a great start in 2026.

Big'uns, great start for the new year. :cheers2

Nice!

Acadamy had Bucca Trick Shads on sale and I got a couple. I haven't gotten into the glide bait thing too much. Flukes and wacky worms are my two favorite baits for bass because they skip really easy and get a lot of bites when conditions are right

Some good looking bass. Still looks cold, but as long as you had fun, and you look like you did it's worth it....
