Comments
Kyle has been on a mission to find a serious bass bite the last couple of days. You see, he is a tournament bass fisherman and he has a large tournament coming up on Saturday. I had seen Kyle on the lake last night, and he was not having much luck locating fish, so we got together tonight to see if I could help him out.
I was not only helping him out, but I was learning new baits and techniques from him. Besides it is more fun fishing with someone. I would even venture to say that most times my average will go up when I am fishing with someone. I think it is the competiveness and you can see what is or is not working for your partner and make a switch based on these observations.

Observations
The water temperature is steadily going up. I have noticed the magnolias are in full bloom and the buds on the trees are starting to swell.
