Hard-Water Largemouth Bass, late season fun.

(Micropterus salmoides) largemouth bass are an overlooked species when it comes to hard-water fishing. Not only are they fun to catch but you tend to catch the bigger ones through the ice. Fittsy and I had a small window of fishing opportunity and decided to avoid the strong wind on the big lake and find a small cove to catch bass and a couple of black crappie for the fry pan. These smaller lakes and ponds are a great place to avoid the crowds and take kids fishing because your usually going to catch something and often many different species.

[@joenadeau4419]

nice late winter catch.

[@workingclasswoodsman]

We call it March Madness, definitely a good time to be on the ice.

[@joenadeau4419]

I have never done it but I hear that trolling flies near the surface right after ice out is pretty effective on lake trout in Maine.

@@joenadeau4419 I have never caught a lake trout like that but deadly on salmon and rainbow.
