[cool]Hey, Mr. G. Good luck at Lincoln Beach. From the sound of things the wallies are getting nervous and so are the fisherfolk. I suspect that you will have a lot of company for the next few weeks. Hopefully you can get in some quality time when the masses can't be on the water. Something to be said for offtime.
From the reports I am getting, you need something good sized and slow right now. However, I catch a lot of early 'eyes on something small and flavorful too...like bait bugs with fish bits or crawlers. Try those black babies. I also used to hang a few on purple plastics with red heads, when everybody else was fishing the chartreuse and white stuff.
Hope you find some and knock 'em dead.
Oh, I have retracted my offers of adoption. I pledged my firstborn to the devil, in a bargaining situation, but the devil wouldn't take him so I am overstocked on progeny.
Fishing down here is about two weeks and five degrees of water temp away from gangbusters. We are already seeing some 10 pound largies, with more in the 12 - 14 bracket soon to show. Smallmouth are spawning now and the smallie fans are having a ball...whenever the conditions are right. But, it is all hanging on getting more rain, snow and runoff. We got some in January and February, but most reservoirs are still way down from where they should be this time of year.
