had to wait until after midnight to start fishing as i already had a limit the morning of april 3rd....man i wish i could have started BEFORE midnight. it was ON when i got there !!! first cast on a smack tackle "gizz4" 30 incher, throwbacks every 4-5 casts and another big keeper for roughly 45 minutes....and then NOTHING ! fished for 2 more hours trying to catch a walleye and never got another hit from anything.

p.s. the shad didnt quit on the banks, if anything they got stronger as the night went on....but i wasnt after shad so.....

ps.s. again every fish that was hooked would make a run right down the bank and then slam right into the rocks and flop and splash like it was trying to get out of the lake......i helped em make that dream come true !
