Last spring was the best spring I've had in 20 years. on 8 trips, every single day we had a bag of solid keepers, and on a few days, we were up in the 20-25lb range. There were multiple days where we had a few over 5, and a few over 6.

I'm really looking forward to this fall, since I'm missing most of the spring this year with a remodel project from hell......

I heard that on projects and to come clean that had much to do with last spring for me. We were migrating to new applications starting in May and I didn't make to the lakes from early April to June so I missed the prime shallow window completely last year. But the trips I had in March and early April last year weren't as productive and to me it is just a matter of "tuning" into where the fish are and what they want to bite. Most of my trips are weekend trips and having 2 days to tune into the fish can be kind of tight especially if they aren't where you expect them to be. It just seems to me the fish have been setting up differently - especially this spring. Or maybe I am just losing my touch. I just know I always look forward to the fish setting up shallow each spring and when they don't it is kind of a let down...
