Here we are in the middle of April, and my water is still darn cold. Tonight, at the end of my dock, about 3-feet down, it was 52 degrees. Very little feeding just yet. I've not seen a single catfish swimming. No big bass, only lots of small sluggish ones. Very few small to medium bluegill, just occasional really big ones that I don't want to keep (females over 9-inches, males 10 to 11 inches). Almost no color to the bluegills -- real pale.
I think the crappie may have spawned, as I saw a school of fish about 1-inch long swimming in the grass last night.
Usually my water is at, or near, 60 degrees by now.
Other observations?
