Played hooky today, and was surprised to see the weather turn out a little nicer than expected. Had a couple of hours, so I thought I would give the Ship Canal a try and see if I could turn up any bass. I suspected it was a bit early in the year, but you never know unless you try. Besides, I recently bought a bunch of new crankbaits and topwater lures and I've been dying to try them out.

Had no luck. Didn't get so much as a nibble. But I did enjoy the sun. It was gorgeous out.

i always wondered how early the bass would start to venture in. those rocks will hold heat but i still firmly believe it's way too early in the year for the smallies to make the big move from deeper water into shallow water. it's always nice to get out and enjoy a beautiful day though whether you catch or not.

That place looks like some of the best smallmouth water I've seen. Since it is shallow it should warm up faster than the rest of the lake , so expect them in that place you took a pic. of pretty soon ( when the water temp. climbes into the mid 50's).
