[cool]Well, I wonder if I might have taken my spring fever pills too early. Last week we were in the eighties, and this week it is back down in the sixties. I had to break out my thermies and heavy coat again.
The largemouths were acting like they were moving in to spawn, as were the crappies. Some folks are doing well on them at both Roosevelt and Bartlett, with a respectable number coming from Pleasant...along with some nice whites under the lights at night, in the north end of the lake. Both Saguaro and Canyon are showing signs of life too, with some big largies showing and a number of spawning smallies. And, for the dedicated walleye guys, the marbleeyes are stirring shallower now too.
Our forecast for this week includes some rain, around midweek. We sure need all we can get, but it would have been better to get it during the winter, and not just when the spring fishing is gearing up to break loose.
That warm weather sure messed up our "ice fishing". The ice cubes don't last nearly as long in your glass in those warmer temps. (chuckle - chuckle).
Hey, lonehunter, congratulations on a job well done on your board. Appreciate you stopping in for a visit. If you like, I'll ask Angler or Dave...or ssor...how to PM some warm Arizona sunshine out to you. I'm still getting the hang of how to work some the the neat refinements on the BFT site.
