First time out this year.

[oelgnal1]

The boss and I got out today to check out my boat repair. It was only for two hours to check things out for a longer outing tomorrow. Not long after starting out with a water temp of 41 degrees, she had the first fish of the year on and after a nice fight a Brown that hit a blade, came to the net.(1st pic) Not long after that I caught a bigger one on a jerk bait. (2nd pic) Then I caught my first bass of the year and a nicer SM, both on a JB. The water temp only got as high as as 42 degrees and the wind was a bit gusty at times but it was good to get out since the last time was mid December. We are CR fishermen and all were returned gently back in the lake to be enjoyed another day.
