Air temp rising, water temp rising,,,,,

Boys and Girls, not long until it bust wide open. Planning on hitting a small lake near the house next week just to see if I can cast a jerkbait, crankbait, trap.... all on a rod under 10' long. Won't be the same not watching the bobber go hippity hop waiting and wishing for it to get pulled into the depths of Dale Hollow. But I would guess that first 5lb Bucketmouth next week will help the healing process. Surely those 6-7 pound pre-spawn Smallies or Bucketmouths at Ky Lake in a couple of weeks will close the healing process. Bring on the sunshine (Seems just a few months back I posted something about BRING ON THE ALBERTA CLIPPERS) How things change.

I can't wait!!! I went to a small farm pond yesterday and managed a few small crappie and one HUGE Gill.. Bring on Spring!!!

thank the big man upstairs. I'm about to go completely crazy and take my family with me. I'm sure they will be happy to get me out of the house!

man i'm glad i'm not the only one flipping out. i'm going to spend the weekend between rough and nolin starting tomorrow. i already had all of my rods and reels rigged on tuesday. i'm going nuts.

I'm going to Dale Hollow next weekend and can't wait to get a hold of a big brown fish. Hope the warm up turns them on.

Good to see that I am not the only one with the disease. Sure in the heck hope they NEVER find a cure for this one. From what I know, every 5 pounder landed this year makes it all that much worse next year. Can only imagine what that 10 pound Bucketmouth or 8 pound Smallie will do for the problem.

Me three Elwood.

I'm with you guys. I'm about to go nuts wanting to fish right now. We've got a big trip in 2 weeks with about 5 of us heading to AL to fish Guntersville. I just hope I don't drive myself crazy between now and then.

yeah what a year the weather is still nuts but i am ready too roll out.one thing i can say i done this year already i never have done in my 28 years is fished on new years day in a t-shirt on green,lol

good luck on the big G, it has never been good to me. Great lake, but it is hard. And that fever you guys been talkin about, it is even worse when you dont have your own boat and it lasts year round. guess thats part of bein a college student. tight lines.
