Got out today with Kdog and his brother. A little more wave action than they were calling for but we stuck it out and got our 3 tickets. All nice fish. Harnesses with inlines. Off to Berlin tomorrow for some prefishing

Water temp was still cold at 46 degrees. East wind Trolled lead in the deep water. Marked lots of fish but it was a slow day. Only got a few with the biggest at 18".

Hit the river today and was able to coax 7 steelies into biting. The highlight was a beautiful 29" male(pic below) that put up a great fight. Also had a chrome hen put on an awesome aerial display.



Took a moment to watch some redd fisherman. Had a good laugh watching one in particular chasing a hooked fish down river and repeatedly trying to net it with a little trout net...

First trip with the boat. The fog was the worst I have been in. Never would have launched without a GPS. The fishing wasn't fast and furious but I did catch just about every species that swim in the lake, bass, bluegill, crappie, pumpkinseed, perch and walleye. Nothing big but still was fun. Vib Es in 16-21fow around wood. No wind and the sun felt great as soon as the fog burned off. Did some exploring and marked some good looking spots for the future. Hopefully a good start to a great season!...

Had some time to kill so I decided to hit a trib. Visibility was about 12". Found some fish, mostly in the tailouts, and went 6 for 10. No monsters with the biggest being 26". Pink and chartruese were both working. I did help a guy land and release a nice 31" buck that was just about as perfect looking as they come. Beautiful day to be on the water Here is a pic of nice chromer.
