Well it was the first outing of the year for me on the boat. Got to the lake at 1pm and stayed until just about 6:30. Very cold and windy day for the most part, but toward the end, the sun came out and the wind died.

Water temps hovering around 45-47f. Clarity was fair at best.

I began throwing plastics, but boat control became an issue, so the dropshot rod went in the locker. From there I threw a white bleeding shad spinner with some success early. After my 3rd fish on this, I couln't get another reaction. Next I threw mid. range cranks in bright colors and managed about 6-8 within the next two hours before that quit working on me. So it went in the locker too. I finished the day throwing lipless cranks. Chrome with a black back managed to get the attention of another dozen fish before the sun started to dip and I got too cold to continue.

All fish caught were males. Heaviest being 3lbs, but most were in the 1-2.5 lb range. Still fun to catch...

Camera was dead, and I was only able to catch a few pics of some dinks before my phone followed.

Another great day, and a good way to start the season.
