Customer Catch Story: Patrick Walsh

“I’ve been ice fishing all winter and inbetween the seasons now is dreadful, I’ve been checking the local park every few days and checking bass forecast looking for a change, 2 days prior to this catch I visited and there was still ice, this day I came back after a couple warm nights and some rain and to my surprise there was no ice. So I only brought one rod and one jerk bait ( my go to this time of year because of how slow you can fish it and keep it right in their faces) bass forecast also recommended a jerkbait so I felt even more confident going. They also recommended migration routes near spawning areas. So I came to an area on the lake where the creek bed meets a damn and small waterfall, water is deeper and moving here. I casted my perch color jerkbait and after a couple minutes of very slow twitching my lure I felt a gummy pressure on my line. I’ve never caught a fish this big in this pond and been fishing here my whole life. Needless to say I was very pleased.”
