Take a big sniff... can you smell it? 2025
BucketmouthAngler13 reply :
Bass season is just around the corner.
The ice is on the thaw and the days are getting longer. Its time to put the shotgun on the rack and oil up the reels.
I dreamed last night that I caught a 7lb bass on a t-rigged powerbait lizzard, which is clearly prophetic.
And now that I have a job, my good old friend the baitmonkey will never go hungry, infact I'm feeding him right now.
Sam reply :
Bucket,
I have to meet with a client that has a fantastic bass pond on his property to discuss a situation that will occur later this year so we made the appointment for the latter part of April when the weather will be warmer.
Hey, you and I are thinking ahead.
Can't wait for the appointment! 
joshuaryan reply :
My season won't start until late April, but I'm sniffing hard!!!!
Eddie Munster reply :
Here in Georgia the winter has been colder than any in recent memory but each day I look at my boat and start getting ansy. Since I really only got back at fishing last summer, I can't wait to go during the spawn and maybe nail a DD.

tritz18 reply :
another 6 inches of snow and degrees in the teens sure made it hard to sniff around here, but i still have faith that spring is coming sooner rather than later. IT BETTER! >

-2 this morning before work, but 50 by saturday.......Life will be good!
BassinBoy reply :
Getting up to 40 the next five days!!!!!!
Hopefully it will last ;D
Tooth Dr reply :
I think the temp is supposed to be about 60 degrees tomorrow. I live on lake Guntersville in AL where I can walk to the water. The question: What will I do tomorrow?
Reality, I prefer boat fishing to bank (pier) fishing; so, the Yamaha/Triton will be running for most of my fishing.

If you cant smell it in the air, go open a bag of powerbait.

Matt,
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I don't know what you are smelling?? Yesterday, it was 8 degrees with snow on the ground and I only live a few miles from you. It is 10 degrees this morning and the snow is still there. Optimism is great, but I am not taking the cover off my boat just yet. LOL

Enthusiasm?! Optimism?!
Tisk tisk.... what is wrong with the older generation? When it was 8 degrees out, I was running around town in just my underwear (my BPS brand underwear, mind you!) leaping and shouting "SPRING IS HERE!!!! SPRING IS HERE!!!" and handing out fishing magizines to all the little children to promote the next generation of anglers.
The funny thing is, "enthusiasm" and "optimism" are the exact words the police chief used...... :-/
Captain Obvious reply :
OK where you handing out things to children in your underwear 
those poor kids, lol ;D ;D ;D but I don't know what you guys are talking about, that smell is there air we breath down here in Texas all year long, hope you guys enjoy the whiffs

BARON49_Northern NY reply :
The record low temp for this area was set last Tues an -29 degrees. Record snow of over 180 inches so far this year have hit the area, but why am I smiling?
7 more days to the start of my fishing season. I leave the snow and ice of Northern NY for the Kissimmee/St. Cloud area of Florida next Saturday morning. Have one week left to get the boat and truck loaded and ready.

Bass-1 reply :
I just went out to shovel off my boats this morning "after" it warmed up from -7. The only thing I can smell is the price of oil running through the heating system to stay warm inside.....
fastcasterjo reply :
68 here in Carolina. Weird because it snowed just this week. Time to get the boat floating and reels oiled. Im READY FOR PRESPAWN.
farmpond1 reply :
Just last Thursday I was sitting on 8 inches of ice. Now it's 52 degree's and supposed to get warmer. Come on global warming! Do your thing!
