MSUFisherBear Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Well... I hadn't said it yet because it always seems to jinx me when I do but... we're just about 24 hours from the weekend and about 36 from my first trip of the year and I'm about as excited as a 5 year old on Christmas. I've been itching to get out for a while now but it seems that every weekend that I've had something has been going on. This weekend looks surprisingly clear and I'm gunning for a trip Saturday. So... the point of the post... any body been out lately fishing for the bucketmouths and of so, anything seem to be working? The plan is to fish the Rockaway area. I'll try to post back here as soon as I get back on how the day went. There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind. ~Washington Irving
MSUFisherBear Posted March 4, 2017 Author Posted March 4, 2017 Well friends... that was a bust. LOL! I had to run some errands in town before heading to the lake. Decided I wanted to set a line before the wind got howling so bad I couldn't fish. Fished in Turkey creek for a couple of hours. It was SLOW! I don't know exact temp, but water had to be low 50s (if that). Drug a bed rig for a bit and caught a couple of dinks (both about 6"). Green pumpkin and I was pretty much just dead sticking when they hit. This past Christmas I got a Road Runner mold and today was the first time I got a chance to use them. Got a couple of bumps on that. I wasn't fishing to hard because by that point it seemed like the wind was already blowing 20 mph or so. The good news was the blades seemed to turn well and they ran good. Im hoping next weekend is just as pretty but slightly less windy. Already ready for another trip.

Yeah. Definitely can't complain. I'm just hoping that maybe we really have had an early spring (I'm knocking on wood now) and can count on the weather staying semi-nice. It's early... but next weekend is looking nice already. There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind. ~Washington Irving

It seems that everything is at least a month ahead. Hoping to get on the water this week sometime.
