it's mid april! no wait it's march 1st? heads up guys, take all your previous fishing records and back the dates up a month and a half! I swung by after work to do some fishing on ultra light gear. started off with mini mites...they worked slightly but it was getting lightly tapped and in about 30 minutes I only caught a few fish. I switched over to a rapala and it was lights out...the crappie were literally flying out of the water at the lure smashing it all over the surface like it was mid april! caught 30 crappie up to 11.75", a sunfish, and a small largemouth in about an hour/hour and a half. they weren't huge but man were they feisty! now that's fun after work!

still not quite enough daylight to make it worth dealing with bringing the boat, but almost there!

Daylight Savings will fix this! March 16

after work sessions are great especially when they are productive

Chris you're a madman! You're right about everything being early this year. will be interesting how it impacts fishing. Hope we don't get a cold spell mixed in if fish decide to spawn early, may have some not so desirable effects.

Went out again today trying more for perch than crappie. It was much colder, ice on my guides. And windier. Blowing right in my face rather than on my back like yesterday. Before I froze my finger tips off I managed 8 perch but nothing over 10" and 7 crappie mostly smaller than yesterday. They seemed to prefer the mini mite today.

to much of the "W" yesterday.the fish were there just not wanting to bite.the jig was the bait of choice also.
