Comments
The fish were fairly aggressive tonight and some were extremely shallow. Matt is a pretty good fisherman, and I am going to nick name him buzz bait Matt.
You see it was very apparent that he likes to use a buzz bait and very effectively I might add. I definitely learned that it was not too early in the spring to use them. I always thought they were a late spring to summer bait, but he proved me wrong. He was pulling fish out of some very skinny water where I had just fished with a spinner bait. The buzz bait is not only an effective bait, but also a fun one to use. I will be given them a try more often this year.

Observations
The dandelions are in full bloom!
