Well...John and I didn't really find the spring bite in our area. The fish hid from us. Still, we caught a few but we were bewildered to say the last.
It was a nice 43df morning when we launched around 8a. And it warmed up nicely after a bit.
As we took off, we get a beep and my oil light is going off but that's an easy fix because I always keep a gallon of oil on the boat.
Off to the races!
Our 1st stop was the rocks and we did not get a bite. Funny how "low' water makes things looks different. I can't remember the last time I fished the UP at 4.1'!
We then floated an area that John had some success with.
He got the skunk off with a chunky 14.75 incher!
He then followed it with a 13" incher that as Bob says, "he doesn't know he's a small smallie". What great fish!
We decided to try another area and I scored a healthy 10 incher (yes, 10) on a tube.
I did beat John out for most stick fish for the day...I stopped counting at 7, I think.
John then got a nice 14.25" fighter that we both said was bigger until we measured it.
John will have to let us know what he caught his on.
Then we went on a long dry spell before I got a 12 incher on a cracked Megabass jerk bait. Hey, it still worked!
We decided to fish the bottom of the chute. The water looked great and I was able to mage a 15 incher on the jerk bait.
Not a staged pic either....
But that was our last bite.

John did have 1 fish get off before we could get a look at him. Both of us had very few bites. Just don't know where they are staging.
Water temp was 48-49 when we started and 52ish when we ended.
Off the water at 3.

Thanks for the last minute trip! It was kind of a weird day, but fun to get out. No question feeling the bites we got and the fish are pulling harder with the warmer water. I got my last two bites on a smoke purple tube. No bites on cranks or chatterbait today. Fish are on the move I think.

I went out again to day and found the bite to be tough. Scratched out 2 on ned rigs. Gorgeous day .

Have yet to catch a fish on a ned rig
Glad to hear y'all got out

The ned is quite possibly the most boring rig I've fished, and they hang up ALOT in rocky rivers. However, they do catch fish and worked all winter for me.
