I have never in my life been out on opening day. When I was a kid I would ask my dad about going out on opening day and he would say simply "It's amateur hour". After seeing countless opening day photos of 100 or more anglers in a circle at Saxton Falls and hearing horror stories about it from many who went, I've stuck to that.

I almost did it this weekend. My buddy called me and wanted to take his boat out on Clinton Reservoir today. I pointed him the the weather report (which turned out to be not nearly as bad as it was it was supposed to be) and he agreed to try tomorrow instead.

Glad to hear these reports of success and for those of you who have secret spots, more power to you. It was obviously a great day for many. Many tight lines were had today! If you are on Clinton tomorrow and see two fat, 50 something guys trolling in a 14 ft Monark, be sure to wave to us.
