Was going to leave.

Stayed instead. Saw a boil where some feed had drifted.

Walked over there. Saw one LMB...then a second...

Then a shiner...

Soaked some Aquamax Largemouth....threw some out......a nibble from a LMB......

Then it was on....the LMB were back on the large feed.

Didn't see any YP, CC, or HSB, but let the good times roll!!!!!!!!!!


That is awesome man!!

How can you be ahead of me? My temps about 4:30 PM today, about 24 inches below the top, were about 43 degrees on the pond that gets the most sun. The pond that doesn't get as much sun was at about 40 degrees.

A few crappies are grabbing jigs on the warmer/bigger pond. I also hook at least one hybrid striped bass if I walk around that pond with a jig. Not even an attempt by any fish on the cooler pond, which has just HBG and HSB and CC.

We had "peepers" and some other frogs on Monday night for the first and only time this season.

We also had freezing rain overnight, and it was about 30 degrees and raining when I got up this morning about 7:00 AM.

I want to get the garden started, but ...

I have to correct my post above. I had to go to the tractor shed a little earlier this evening. The peepers were peeping. It is 38 F degrees and warming up. We are now expecting thunderstorms tomorrow.

According to the forecast, today will be our last 'warm' day for the next (5) days.

If it's not too rainy, I imagine the feeding will be off the hook after work today.

Ken, this pond is in my neighborhood closer to Pittsburgh, not the main pond out in Somerset.

After that joyous Wednesday of last week, the good times dried up!!!

Nights back into the teens, and days in the low to mid 40's if that.

Tried to throw some feed yesterday evening, but no. No takers.

This week could return to joyous times.....

85 degrees at my place this past Sunday. I filled a few deer feeders and broke a sweat! I do like the spring!

It snowed yesterday, hit 52 today. Hopefully that should be the last of it this year. Very rare to get snow in April, but it happens.

Joyous times returned last night with some fish hitting the feed, but as life goes, it was too damn cold to stand there and watch!!!

The day was in the low 50s, but the wind picked up and the temps dropped quickly in the evening.

This evening and tomorrow should be off the hook with all the fish waking up to the feed.

Hit 67 today and sunny, but calling for snow on Easter Sunday.

I think I was about 12 when that last happened, and this would be the second time.

Joyous times were denied yesterday evening.

Didn't take the water temps, but it was in the mid 50's. Nothing hitting the feed.

Today should be awesome though. Mid 60's......leaving work early.....
