Spring Fishing Must

Guys-
Already thinking about my Spring fishing line-up for 2010. I do this every year, trying to list the places I really want to hit (and trying not to go crazy during winter, :D). This year will be the best ever, seeing as I now have my own boat....so I'm STOKED! What waters are you all listing on your "must hit" list for this spring?

Here's my breakdown as of right now (I'm sure it'll change in the next couple months :D):

1) Ky Lake (of course)
2) Barren River Lake
3) Green River Lake/Green River itself
4) Nolin Lake

And, favorite spring time bait?

1) Jig
2) Brush hog (all the time!)

Guntersville :)

Only two places. Cumberland and those nighttime stripers and Barren for those nighttime hybrids. Think the bait will be a jointed Rick Clunn wakebait.

Cumberland through January
Florida gulf in February for a week than back to Cumberland until March than Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair in April, then again in May and June during may fly hatch for St. Clair. Back to Florida in July and Cumberland in between. Maybe 1 more trip to Florida in August and Salmon fishing in Michigan in late October.
Striper fish as much as possible on every weekend I am home on Cumberland. I know you only asked for spring time but that's my yearly ritual.
Can't wait till February for first Florida trip of the year, come on Grouper and Amberjack!

Man you got it rough !!! I feel for you ! Keep us all posted on the progress in the different areas!

Please no mention of Salmon in MI. Too much fun.

I'll be heading back to Indianapolis to finish the construction job we had to halt for cold weather a few weeks back. I'll probably miss out on the big fish this spring :(

KY and Barkley

Impressive schedule,but should a cobia trip to the gulf mid April been included?
My only solid plans are walleye and sauger in the Ohio river,maybe Paintsville and laurel,a maybe trip to the gulf in April for cobia and back to the gulf for two or three weeks in late September-early October.

Salmon and steelhead in mich. man how I miss those times. Erie, well the walleye were ok if you could keep the drum off your bait. But what I miisand never will enjoy again is the weak fish[speckled trout in the gulf, FUN, and great eating.
