Opening Day 2013: How Did You Do?

This is a thread to share your opening day experiences.


As I have done for the last twenty-something years, I went to Seeley's Pond (Union County) on opening day. I arrived there early to reserve my 'spot'. Lot of anglers there this year with the usual elbow-to-elbow antics. I saw two anglers almost come to blows over one guy moving into a spot another angler claimed to have been holding since 5:30 am.

The fish were being landed fast and furious for the first hour after the season opened, then the fishing just kind of died. I didn't bother moving around to try other spots on the pond because I figured there were enough anglers there that it was unlikely that there were undiscovered pockets of fish.

I landed a Rainbow and a Brookie. A modest take for opening day, but I was just happy to be fishing and looked forward to an awesome lunch.
