32 degrees this morning. Yesterday was brutal…10 degrees below normal with 32 mph wind gust and the wind was 9mph.

Normal temperature is supposed to be 45 degrees. The river is blowed out agin with high water. 
 I did get out Friday, the water Temperature was 42 degrees. Caught 1 fish 16.5” smallmouth.

This spring we’re getting a little bit of everything thrown at us.

 

Smallie fishings has made such a great comeback around here. Last year was epic. My son has really started on a heater this year. I never specifically targeted them until last year , and that was only when my buddy came home from Maui . Even though I never specifically targeted them ,  I used to routinely catch them while bait fishing  until around 2010ish then i rarely caught any until maybe about 4 or 5 years ago . By Last year I couldn't quit catching them while bait fishing. I caught and lost several absolute pigs last year, and over my life  because I only use 3 pound test while bait fishing.
