Tri-State Bass Fishing Website News

As the weather has warmed as spring has finally arrived, it is time again to get out and do some open water fishing, the trout have been stocked, the largemouth and smallmouth bass are getting ready to spawn and the shad will be moving up river to spawn…I so much enjoy this time of year, I enjoy watching the wildlife either along the river bank or at the side of the lake, the birds, the deer and their fawns, the possibility of seeing a bear with cubs and soon all the trees will have leaves and the blossom will be blooming…The re-birth that is happening around us is amazing.

With the re-birth spring, I hope it will be a re-birth in my life since the fall brought the death of my dad, someone who was very influential in my life as well as the reason why I fish. Over the last couple years I have not been very enthusiastic when it came to fishing as I was in the past, even when dad and I were miles apart we shared our stories of our day on the water, he with his stories of catching striped bass in the salty surf of the Jersey shore and me with my stories of catching largemouth and smallmouth bass from the freshwater lakes of New York’s Hudson Valley.

I now have a lot of work ahead of me to get back that enthusiasm, I have two boys to teach what my daddy taught me!!!
