The earliest I've gotten my first micro bass was a few days after St Pattys in March at Da Wall. Last few years I've gotten holdovers in mid to late Feb when I start occasionally chasing them. First smaller keepers I usually get in late April.

Last year I had holdovers 3rd week of Feb on my first try out dozen fish up to 24 inches... First "REAL" fish (though still likely holdovers) was the last day of March ? Bow I need to go look...

GS - take the outboard off and push the boat to the edge of the ice. If there's no edge ya might want to do it the old fashioned way, make a hole -n- jig

I just checked me logs and my first So Shore fish were the 9th of April... I had been getting plenty of holdovers in the Prov & on the Thames with GS but I had a stretch of sick son and didn't get out much end of March beginning of April...
