Halfway through February and the last few warm days have me getting a little jiggy. Premature spring fever I think.

At what point do you guys start breaking out your gear and start hunting around your spots for striper action?

I find myself venturing down the backside once a week starting in mid-March to scout out my spots, checking structure and seeing what the winter has left behind.

April 1st I might start tossing some plugs if for no other reason than just to get out and get the muscles back in fishing shape!

I will start largie fishing March 1 though depending on the weather and if there is ice on top or not....I don't see an issue as yet....trout soon though.
