First Fish of the Season at Loch Raven

Type: Nontidal
Region: Central
Location: Loch Raven

I went up to Loch Raven on 4/14 to try my hand at landing my first fish of the season and I'm glad I did because it paid off! I arrived at the fishing center around 8:30 and the weather was less then agreeable, the temperature was around 73-75 degrees but the wind remained at a sustained 15-20 mph. It was extremely choppy and the wind was churning up sediment and debris from the bottom in almost all my fishing holes but one, a cove protected on three sides from the wind. I caught these 2 Largemouths using Watermelon Texas rigged worms in shallow water around 4-5 feet near some sunken logs. The first one was 15 inches and the second one was 16 inches and weighed around 2 1/2-3 lbs ( released without weighing ). Both were released unharmed for someone else to enjoy for another day. Hope the winds die down soon, Good luck and tight lines Y'all !!!
