That first outing in the boat each spring is a special one. First off, you just hope things float, the motors work and the batteries hold a charge. After those things have been checked, it is time to make those first casts. This spring was very unique in the way that I was not throwing a Quantum combo. After using those products for about 30 years, it was time to move on to Lew's rods and reels. It is always fun trying new models of things each spring, but a new product line was VERY exciting. I was like a kid on Christmas morning. The new combos were a pleasure a use, very balanced and overall lightweight, they are going to be wonderful throughout the many years to come. More details on those will be coming.
The fishing the first time out is always a bonus, just hoping for that one bite. Also, the first month or so of open water fishing is your best chance to catch a giant, especially a giant largemouth bass. No giant on the first trip out but some nice fish. The biggest did come on a jig and chunk pitching to some rocks, pretty typical for March, let alone late February. A fun time, the boat floated, both motors worked, and fish were caught. I guess the 2024 open water season is here!
