It was warm enough for my delicate constitution to get out early for a dawn start. Very little wind, which at first I thought was good for my Ned fishing, but things were tough the first couple of hours on the glass like water.
Poked around on some of my smallmouth spots and only picked up a couple of short fish. Went back in a cove that had held some spotted bass the day before and didn't get much action there either.
Things were looking grim.
I decided to try some main channel wooded banks that hadn't been producing much previously, also there was some wind starting to blow on the main channel and I thought that might help. Really wasn't expecting much, but I found some. More green fish than brown, but they were good fish on average. Caught 4 keeper sized largemouth, half a dozen tank spots that were in the 15-16" range, a couple of smallies, and one walleye. Had a pretty good window of biting fish for about 3 hours, then the wind really started blowing, it was 2 PM, so I packed it in.
17 total bass, 10 of them were at or bigger than 15".
PB&J Ned again did the damage. I threw cranks for a while, but nothing touched them.
WT 49-51.
Turkeys were gobbling again, one of them was getting obnoxious, I mean non-stop gobbling from that bird all morning. Hopefully somebody nails that one this spring.
