Ready for Spring

Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina.

A buddy and I are heading to Georgia March 20.  Will be fishing the small pond behind my daughter's home and relaxing on Sunday.

Monday, off to Varner with a guide.  One day on a private pond with a managed population of biggies (supposedly).  Maybe another guided trip at the end of the week.

Plenty of small ponds and lakes that are perfect for small boats and canoes.  Most don't allow gas engines or boats over 16 feet.

The snow is gone around here, and the temps did hit 50 today.  The next sunny calm day, I'm going to hit my favorite pond with jigs and shakey heads. 

Temps around 50 this weekend here in Southern Illinois. Let me know if you're coming. I'll have the boat ready to go.

If your coming down Interstate 79, I'll meet you where it crosses over 422 and I'll chip in for gas money. ;D

I'm over the snow, Spring can't come soon enough.

Only if it warms up a lot in the next couple days. They're talking about snow for tomorrow afternoon/evening.

If I wanted to deal with the white crap that falls form the sky I would've stayed in NH. >

Dang! 

On the bright side, the 21st doesn't get here in the next couple of days.

Seriously, March was the best month for me to take off.  Wife is having toe joint replacement surgery in early April, so I have to play nurse for a week or ten days.

Knowing March can still be iffy in GA, I scheduled the trip as late as possible in March.

Average highs for late March in the Atlanta area showed mid 60s to near 70.

Yeah.  I read about it in the paper last week.  The same article said that they were also dumping saltwater into the ocean...

not sure if fishing for them right away would be the best idea but they're there, for future reference

I'm in Melbourne Fl. now, 79 degrees wind blowing 25-30. Here I am sitting in the motel room watching Jimmy Huston. But it's better than being back in NC.

We will finally get out of highs in the 40s here in Northwest FL this coming week, looking to be mid 60s starting Thur on for at least a week or two... which means prespawn is not too far away
