I got more new jigs in the mail yesterday and today the temperature is about 36 degrees cooler and it is raining.

 

I am so ready for Spring to reach Illinois and slide right into Summer.

 

At least I got out Saturday while it was half way decent.

 

Caught some decent ones even though the water is in the mid-40's still.

Lake I am fishing this week is still reading 40 on the gage, its 88 degrees there today so I feel your pain. See what happens and hope for the best.

 

I called it, I said we wont have a spring. It will go from 30 to 80 and there wont be any of those days where a tshirt and jeans is perfect temp. Temps are supposed to level back out next week but when you call for a high of 70 and it hits 88, I dont know what to believe.

That pretty much is our spring up here.

I wore shorts yesterday.  It is raining and 40 for a high today. Tomorrow starts a warming trend again.  It is supposed to be warmer this weekend.  I think I'll take my little to do some bank fishing to catch her first fish!  

I hear you guys. Here on erie we are two-three weeks behind last year.  

Move to FL don't really got to worry about the weather down here

Just get out and fish rain is better then snow iv been out fishing in this cold rain having a ball not catching numbers but def all quality fish check my threads out. Water temps are 41* air temps are 40-50 during the day a few warmer days though.

I wish you guys could make it to Pickwick...We're going to catch a lot of bass and

some of them will be GIGANTIC. I anticipate 50+ days, lots of 6-8 lbs and a couple

of DDs. Pickwick is on fire!

That would be nice. To pull something like that off I would need almost a year notice to put it all together from planning time off work and the costs involved.
