Well it's March and the ice is slowly melting off the lakes. Time to Fish! No it is not too early to take out your float tube. Good long johns, heavy sweat pants and a good pair of wool socks should keep you nice and toasty under your 3.5mm or larger waders. Keeping the body parts out of the water are just as important but I am sure you can figure that one out. This is a great time of year to start looking for crappi or finding some lunker pre spawn Large mouths. Live bait is a great bait but you may want to cover a bit more water. I like drop shooting near shore or shallow water on warm sunny days. The water temp is rising fast in these areas and is sure to put a little more umph in our hungry adversary. Be sure to put the bass back so they can make some babies  and instead enjoy a plate full of pan fish. Most importantly.. Take a buddy Float Tube fishing it will change his life.

I am a tuber myself bu that is a little too brave for me, glad you got out on the water anyhow
