Quantity Over Quality
I decided to take my canoe out for a few hours of bass fishing. The bite has been very slow for me so far this year and I wasn't expecting much in terms of action. The sun was shining and there was a moderate northerly wind. Cruising through the shallows I could see that the sunfish were starting to build nests and it seemed like some of the bass were also starting to bed down. I figured I'd focus on the shallow water with emergent weeds and it paid off.
I tied on a 5'' stick worm in pumpkinseed and it would be the only lure I needed all day. I managed to land 6 bass, all of them were pretty small 1lbers. All of the fish were located just off the shore in about 3 feet of water. Despite the lack in size it was a nice confidence booster and proof positive that some of the fish made it through the winter.
