Such a beautiful day I had to get out. Four of us went and each of us came back with our limits! We were fishing our typical winter time pattern. We hung close to the channel edges, fished brush, logs, rocks, etc... in 25-30 feet of water 16'-22' deep. The water has gotten much colder since the first of January, (parts of the lake just thawed a week ago), the biggest key is to fish slow. When you think you are fishing slow, slow down some more!!!! Used jigs blue and glow chartreuse (I'm sure other colors were working, just never put anything else on).
I've been checking pre-spawn brush piles, the fish are starting to move to them. There are a few fish showing up on the graph and a few bites (not enough to have a productive trip). If the weather stays nice this transition will probably start picking up speed, if however we have more winter weather in store (can someone please shoot that groundhog!), it will take another 30 days or so.
Good luck and hope your live wells are full!
