Comments

I escaped work early today, and I was ready to stack em up. Well, I did not stack anything, in fact the fishing was so poor I quit early and came back home and mowed the lawn. For me to do that is sad!
The one fish I did catch was located on a stump in about three feet of water, and he had his spawning colors on. I missed one other fish and that was the extent of my evening. My target audience was bass and pike.

Observations

Lilacs and apple trees are at full bloom, and some areas on the big pond are seeing quite a bit of aquatic vegetation growth.
