Will be doing the same thing for the next several weeks. First 60 degree day and the small, shallow farm ponds should explode.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Easter stripers for me and too many to count, with a half dozen 10-12 lbers thrown in to keep it interesting.

I was right.

Will keep busy with the Larry's for five or six more weeks.

Both. You need hip boots to get around though. the beavers damming activity has elevated the water height, so most of the paths are flooded about 6" deep. Carp are active and will probably go nuts next week. Its supposed to be close to 60 on tues and weds. Plenty of ticks too. I was picking them off myself like fruit when I got back to the truck.
