Cold and windy!

Buzbait88 · April 11, 2009, 08:19:41 AM

Well I got out again yesterday. Some of my buddies challenged me to a little tournament so they wanted to hit the water at 8am

not backing down from a challenge I accepted and hit the water at 8am with the temps barely above freezing. we hit my normal spot and only got 1 fish in the cold, so I left to try some new water and let old faithful recover a little bit. I went to a spot I had never fished before and the fish were there. I was in white caps, but we caught 4 nice keepers right away and through back a bunch of small ones and lost a couple big ones. All in all I think we hooked into or caught probably 10 or so fish in this spot and then went back to old faithful and my partner caught another keeper. Everyone else's boat broke so needless to say we won the little tournament.

No monsters today, but a solid 6 fish limit of 2lbrs and I did some KARU promoting on the water as well today.

yeah today was beautiful. WIth no wind I'm pretty sure I could have caught alot more fish then what I did, but I opted to spend the day wiring a shed and scouting for turkeys at night instead. Oh well. The season has just begun.

Nate u didnt miss much on the water

U made the right move scouting turkeys

Buzbait88 · April 12, 2009, 09:22:18 PM

I'm pretty confident I could have caught a bunch of fish, but I've been catching so many lately that i'm kind of wore out already.

so turkey scouting sounded good to me. I even found a couple new spots on Fri that were producing some fish. Now that I've found them they are fairly easy to catch. For me its just a matter of finding fish and then its game over.

I'm kidding of course. I've been catching 3 or 4 a day until Fri when I got another person in the boat and we hammered them then. I've only caught 3-4 fish that went over 3lbs. Most are between 14" and 16", but the way it sounds a limit of 14" fish could win alot of tournaments right now. Things will be better by the 26th. I'm sure you'll get on them.

Crigger Craw · April 12, 2009, 09:35:53 PM

I have a two day tournament next weekend i ave only got out on saturday it was great to be out again .............must of been nice to smoke them How many did you catch

Buzbait88 · April 12, 2009, 09:39:32 PM

We caught 6 keepers and I lost 2 good ones at the side of the boat. We also caught 3 or 4 that were about 13.5". Wind was blowing so hard I could barely hold the boat. I think on a calm day I could have caught more, but the spot I have been catching them I only managed 2, but they were bigger fish. I ran to some new water and it worked out. Clear water and about 50-54* temps.

Crigger Craw · April 12, 2009, 09:43:17 PM

Yeah, I wish i could get into them like that i forgot how to fish i think $:-\$

Crigger Craw · April 12, 2009, 10:02:56 PM

GotstaFish · April 13, 2009, 10:27:54 AM

We got into a few yesterday

tennispro · April 13, 2009, 10:57:02 AM

I fished a shallow pond yesterday afternoon. Water temps were almost 60* and the fish were smashing anything I used. I fished for an hour and I landed 10

I made some guys that were there fishing mad. They said they had been there for 4 hours and had not got one.

Weather looks good for W-T-F this week. But raining all weekend. Fishing should really be getting goood by Friday. the 26th will be here soon. I hope it stays above 55

day time highs till then.

I should be able to get to the river on Wednesday this week, then again two times next week before the 26th.

Adam good luck this weekend

Buzbait88 · April 13, 2009, 11:01:35 AM

Cool Jeremy. I hope your right. the temps do look nice so hopefully by this weekend there will be some temps on the river in the 60's.

I think the temps are still going to be in the upper 50s even with the rain this weekend. The river temps should be really close to the 60* mark.
