Today I had three hours to mess around so I hit up to ponds. One of the ponds is a subdivision pond were my brother lives. The other is a park district owned pond.
I started out at my brothers and the weeds are going crazy. They usually spray the weeds, but they have not done so this year. I was trying everything. I lost one small fish on a swimjig, and it was really slow. About the time I decided to take off I tied on a black buzzbait. First cast I had a blow and miss. Three cast later I caught a 18″ with no belly. Two casts later I hooked up with a 15″ then a 10″. I walked around the pond and made another cast and had a Huge 18″ bass explode on my bait. This bass weighed 4.75 
it was the biggest bass I have caught on a topwater bait. I caught two more after my brother showed up one 12″ and one that was 17″. My brother caught one 15″ on a buzzbait as well.
I hit the other pond about 2 hours later. I started out using a spinnerbait, with no luck. So I tied the buzzbait on and caught one with in ten cast. I could not get another blow, so I tied on a white chatterbait. I landed 9 bass with the biggest being 17.5″ and full of eggs. The rest were 14″ or smaller.
I was amazed that they were smoking a buzzbait this early in the year. Usually I cant get them to take them until May.
