The water there Sunday was choclate milk, as far as ice Just about all is gone. I did not take my boat but banked fished, no luck water still needs to warm a little more, From middle of march til middle of may I had a good year last season. Jignpig spinnerbait and senkos. Ive done same thing for the past two weekends with no luck even with a suspending jerk bait. You are right, it is just around the corner.
