Never caught bass there. Caught them in Noel Booth Park in Langley and years ago in the pond at TWU
Water still needs to warm up they are lethargic in cool water
If you really want to go out this time of year use slow presentations rubber lizards and worms scented would be best. Or even a fly rod with large wollybuggers.
When it warms up spinnerbaits, minnow baits, and top water frogs can be added to the mix.
Focus on structure weeds, logs, trees, and anything else they can hide near.
When did Bass get introduced to Pitt Marsh??
I have known of them for almost 20 years in Pitt so I assume a lot longer than that.
Bass have been in the lower mainland a long time first 1 I caught was 22 years ago. But since then it seems the bucket bergaide has moved them to a crap load of different areas.
Not good but they are not going away now and you even find the odd 1 in the Fraser. I don't promote the illegal stocking but might as well enjoy fishing them.
Fisheries has been trying to remove them for a long time but it is my understanding this will not continue as it is an expensive loosing battle
One rifle - one planet - Holland's 375.
People are like balls of yarn, for the most part they are boring and useless - but I still get a lot of pleasure watching them unravel!! (GC)
Gods own country
deer lake in burnaby is full of them also
Caught them back in the 80s Judson Lake at the south end of Clearbrook road in Abbotsford. They were also in Laxton lake. I used a bobber with a 1 1/2 foot leader. Jiggled the bobber around for action. A big dew worm works. Biggest bass was 16 inches.
Judson is half on the American side. Another way they could get spread around is if some fertilized eggs are stuck on diving ducks legs, And then transported to different lakes. There are also bass in the Nicomen Slough and the other sloughs on Nicomen Island. Never seen any perch.
