3/17/11 - Lake Cochituate Boat Ramp
Well its taking longer for the ice to melt off this year, but I wasnt gonna let it stop me. I hit up the boat ramp at Cochituate after work. Cant launch a boat yet, but there is a couple spots to cast to from shore. I threw a jig here and there, a Rooster Tail to see if any Trout were out, but mainly threw a small jerkbait. Saw 2 Bass the whole time I was there(545pm-700pm). The 1st one was about 10" Larry who followed my jerkbait, and briefly put its lips on the lure, and quickly swam off. Dohhh! about 10 mins later I get another follower, and play it sloooow...Bass staring...twitch, twitch of the jerkbait, and it couldnt resist, hook up with my 1st post ice Bass of the year. Measure in at 13-1/2" 1lb 1oz. Its a start, and Im ready for alot more.
