'Twas a lil breezy today, 2-16-16

Finally got on the water for the first time this year. Put in at Spring Creek, fished Pontiac area to Theodosia. Not a lot to report, water looks good, little bit of color in the Theodosia arm and in Spring Creek, main lake is clear. Only had 2 short LMB and a keeper spot, all on the Jerkbait. Had the feeling a ned would have torn them up today, but with the wind just couldn't keep anything going slow enough to fish the bottom. Also had the feeling deep bite would have been good main lake, again, wind messed it all up.

water temps 45-47

won't be long guys, it's fixing to get good!

Good for you man! I threw a jerk bait a bunch, and never got a bump. Was there any pattern to your bites? If I had gotten a bite, I would have repeated what I was doing when I got bit. 

I had a mid lake itch that I felt like needed scratching. It will get better, but it will be a little while before I do that again.

Ham,

I caught all of them next to windy docks, tossing in the lee of the wind. I don't know if it was just the one series of docks, or if it would have worked elsewhere, as it was so late when I figured it out. I'm suspecting that a guy could have pitched a jig around the same docks and caught a few more, but I didn't try. Was also a megabass 110+1, but I don't really think that had anything much to do with it.

I made a couple of interesting runs to get to some docks with depth. They did not like the jigs or Neds that I threw at them. One of the spots I was really hopeful about. It may have been that some of the docks were swinging back and forth so violently that the fish bailed on them.
