The bass I catch through the ice and spring open water are just the by product catches when chasing pan fish. I live on a world renown bass fishery and could care less about them. I can catch up to 20 inch smallies right off my dock using topwater all summer. I would rather catch a 100 pound cooler of yellow perch or a couple buckets of sunnies and seeds. I fish them all year. Flags, I used to fish for trout and salmon back when I had a boat that was equipped with downriggers and then got bored with it and bought a Nitro bass boat. Did that for a while and now back where I started fishing for pan fish out of my Lund. There must be something to that because I have plenty of company.
