Loving the 65* - 70* "winter" days after a rain.  Shakey heads are the order of the day; caught 12 - 15 yesterday, with these two being the largest; I guess they are spawning early, based on the belly on the first one.  Either way, caught a couple on a spinnerbait; the first one I saw coming at it from five feet - it was awesome.  Had a pickerel do the same thing, but thankfully he shook loose - can't stand those things.  Caught one on an H20 Xpress 5' - 8' squarebill (those are great cranks, BTW) and the rest on Reaction Innovations Flirt 6.95" in Payback dipped in a ittle chartreuse Spike-It and a 3/8 oz Picasso Shake-e-Football - these things are deadly.

That first fish a is a real fatty.

Thanks, dood.  See my post in the kayak/canoe/boat section - any interest in an online tourney?

I have enough trouble even getting on the water these days.

Besides, I usually avoid tourneys  just not my thing.
