Pre-Bass season checklist !!

[mike borba]

Make sure to bring a thermometer, (or your fish finder with fresh batteries). Water temperature is key in early spring bass fishing.

Excellent point. I check water temps quite a bit in the Spring-time to get a sense of when I think the topwater season has arrived.

that is by far the deadliest bass bug i've ever fished. bass crackers are sweet too

??? What's a "bass cracker"?

[Darrin.Deel]

the bass cracker was developed by hogan brown. he has some other sick bass patterns that are pretty deadly around my neck of the woods.

After picking one of those up I decided I could cast one on a heavy spin outfit. If you hit yourself in the head with one of those, it sure would be a shock.

Thanks! No doubt those will work too, especially in early spring before water temps come up.

Hogan gave me a couple of those when I went to one of his steelhead seminars, they are heavy so be careful.
