Normally I don't fish after Dec 20th of any given year, because its like a light switch goes off and the fish go into dormancy mode, At least that's how it is here in Rhode Island for me, My fresh water season starts with white and yellow perch fishing they seem to start showing up around the first week in march. Its as if someone threw the light switch on, and Bam they white perch season is in full swing for at least a month or so, Lots of people will show up and fish shoulder to shoulder at times on the bridge, Because the white perch are so abundant during this time period, and the children also have a great experience learning how to fish, and where there food comes from in some cases, They say if you teach a person to fish, They will feed them selves for a life time, So True.. Then the Large Mouth Bass will start to wake up with all this warming water action going on and the great abundance of prey on their list, And before you know it, Its Bass and Carp season for Me, There is only one thing better than catching a big large mouth bass, and that's Catching a Freight Train of a Carp, On ultra light gear with 6 lb test line. If you haven't tried it you should. In the photo, Look close at the size of the Yellow Perch, I was using for bait Just above my left nee, The perch was at least six inches long, First I hooked the Perch, Then I live lined it with my other ultra light setup, To Catch this Massive Large Mouth Bass, That's One of My biggest Bass Yet to this Date 2016.
