Here's the weather....46°, cloudy, windy--20MPH NNW.

Here's where I'm going.

Haven't fished here a lot, this will be my second time from shore.  I picked those areas because some are near obvious cover that I can access, others are points of deep water near shallow water, and lastly most are just out of the NNW wind.  Not sure what the water temperature is or where the fish are, but that's the fun part.  

I don't know what to expect and am just excited to get out there and shake down some new gear, line, and lures.  I will be throwing lipless cranks, spinner baits, suspending jerkbaits, and jigs.  

Hopefully some successful pictures tonight!  

And as always, what's followed by 2 days of rain (or other bad weather)?    MONDAY!!!

I arrived to rolling white horses and cold muddy water.  I tried to tuck into the southern cove on the map and fish that wind blown point with no luck.  The wind was blowing from the north on the main part of the lake, but when I got to my cove it was blowing right out of the cove.  A little later in the season and that little point would have probably been dynamite as two visible wind currents were hitting each other at a right angle.

On a plus side, my new gear worked well and my homemade spinnerbaits ran true.  

Good luck everyone and stay warm.

Too bad about the conditions man, I know what that's like.

Spring is finally on the way, and there's no ice, but the temperature is around freezing every night and hasn't really gotten above low-mid 40's during the day.  It's like we're in a standstill, and it's been very windy.  I just want the weather to hit that magic 60 degree mark so I don't feel so cold!

At least you got to try out your gear and find some promising spots for the upcoming season.
