Was gonna stop at a local pond on the way home for some pannies or bass but opted for the river since I hadn't fished it in a couple weeks.
Water as high as ever, but that created some slower deep pools that weren't available before. Fished 5:30-6:45 with a jig & 3" GULP! minnow and a firetiger Shad Rap RS. No one else reported any action, but after awhile of nothing began gettin' a few taps on the jig. Wasn't sure if it was bottom or fish, but regardless was coming up empty-handed. Right before I left I finally connected on a small but chunky 15" male that barely let me know he was biting. Rewarding as it was my first walter of '08. More to come soon. About a week away from a more consistent bite if I can find some slack water. No camera since I came from work, sorry
.
Weekend forecast looks great and the ice is gone on Wonder Lake so the maiden voyage on my vessel may be in order. Till then, good fishing.
