Getting ready

FinsnFur · April 10, 2011, 10:56:42 AM

I just wanted to clear a path in here

I been down to the river on an average of every other day, watching it flood, looking for Pike (which I'm finding none) in the cold water, and anticipating leaning on some largemouth soon

Water temps in the mid forties, climbing a degree or two each day, and a few feet over flood stage

It's not...I say it's not going to be too long now.

I thought the end of the world had arrived yesterday. The ole mercury hit 80 degrees

It was nuts!
But I know it warmed that water a little bit more. So I'm right on your tail Shad

Have you been able to get out at all, Jim? I keep thinking anyday I'll see you posting some bass pics.

Out water is still in the mid forties.... and now the flood is going down roughly a foot a day.
Two things that catastrophically ruin fishing.

A gut at work said he heard reports of some smallies around the dikes. So if the weather permits, I'll sneak out this weekend when I get the girls. I'm not anticipating much, but it'll be time well spent
