How is everyone doing this season so far. I have not used my boat but shore fishing has been ok, a fish here, a fish there. I thought it was picking up prior to , two snowstorms ago. Red eye shads produced after the mid march warm up as did jigs. Recently I have had luck on small 3 inch grubs on a drop shot and a spinnerbait on windy days. I am sure this snow and 15 degree morning temps in Metro West area's are not helping. Might give it a go tomorrow , in the past I have caught bigger fish on crappy rainy April days on Jigs.

I got a few pickerel on the Ipswich last week but that was before the snow I mean it could be 65 tommorow then 40 Saturday that's what makes it so difficult this time of year

I got nothing on 3 outings in March, then rallied at Walden Pond with 2 nice rainbows on Good Friday (choose your own religious meaning for that one, LOL).

Finally started catching bass on April Fool's Day, and been doing OK since then - 3 12 inch, 1 17 inch, 2.77 lb LMB, and the usual interloping yellow perch, pickerel, and sunfish who have hit crankbaits meant for bass.

January saw us putzing around at Walden catching stocked rainbows. We pulled in our fair share over time. We only got up north to ice fish once this year, and all we got for that effort were a few perch. We hit the sudbury river in march. I got skunked but Dad pulled in a few nice Pickerel. Since the start of the month we have been playing over at the Chu, and so far got a few Landlocked Salmon. As soon as the water warms up slightly you'll find me up north chasing Smallmouth!
