It has been a week since ice-out. For those of you who are temperature watchers, the water has ranged from 39 to 43 degrees. It has been a good week with a few surprises. The fished are grouped more than in previous years. It would be easy to fish for several hours without a smallmouth. When you find the group, however, it has been fun.
As I prefished before my first clients of the year, a five pound plus was caught each day with several over four. My best five-fish bag for a day was just over 21 pounds.
During this early season fishing not many 14-15″ are showing up. This will change shortly. Now, when you get one, it is probably a very nice fish.
I am not a photographer but I am a fisherman. I promise you better pictures when the clients arrive.
If you call during the day you’ll probably have to leave a message. I will return your call.
