I've been getting out when I can for the past several weeks...on my very first trip of the year I missed a nice one under a dock that just threw the hook. After that I fished for many many hours without a bite.
We had a local warming trend here the past few days and finally I managed to break the ice.
Went 2lb 2oz on the scale and is a very respectable fish from the small and heavily pressured lake I caught it on. Took a Vision 110 Jr. in Elegy Bone.
I was really surprised I had only one bite in like 8 outings before this, two of those days being long, all day affairs. But it's going to get a lot better from here on out for the next few months!
