I started out striper fishing this morning around 11 am till 1:30 or so. I never could find them, so I thought I'd try some bass fishing.  I must have bass fished 2-2 1/2 hrs.  And managed to catch 5 bass.  Id say around 4-430 I tried some more striper fishing and zeroed again.   It was getting pretty dark by the time I started to head out and on the way I seen a couple of ripples on the surface. I threw a shallow running crank and caught a white.  Pretty much just junk fished today.  Water temps r warming, I seen 50 water but most was 48-49.  Maybe this coming rain will bump it up a little more.  Here's a couple of pics

Good job, Dan. Lots of guys would've been happy to have those bass Saturday in the Everett derby.

Nice Danny, glad you found something to pull your line.  Would of really liked to have call in sick today.  The weather today was awesome.

It was a beautiful day. Wind was blowing a little more than I liked but still really nice. I'm loving the spring time weather

Good stuff Dan - I think that WB is about ready to spawn.

Quill, I totally agree, that one in the pic was just full of eggs.   Must have weighed 2 pounds.  I'm sure there's more ready to spawn. Just need to wait for the water to warm a bit.

You couldn't tell by the schooling, I have not hit a big school this year at all. They seem to be scattered out, one here, two there.

Nice days work Dan.  I was out yesterday between PC and the bridge with a big zero. Hey that's fairly clear water in the pic. Are you upstream of M.N.? I'm tired of fishing in a mud puddle but don't know if I should go up or down.

I just seen a few blow ups and stopped.  No huge school.  I hope to find one this spring.
