Hey all,

Real quick before first light. The current conditions on Webster as of the hour and a half I had last night before I had to roadside assist MrsB and the kids.. (Coolant line blew on the truck)

Water temps:
Main lake basins - 51-53F
Shallows 53-58F
No-wake zone to backwaters- 58F

Very little weed growth, water is still murky in most areas.

I didn't move anything in the shallows but I was marking classic arcs on the 'bird in deep water at the 15-17' depths in 30 FOW.

First light in 10... Time to hit the boat

HTH,
RandalB

Location: northern indiana		Thanks guys! And a big thanks to Ben (MuskyFix) for making some INCREDIBLE baits!!! She was certainly a state record class fish! Wasn't in front of any launches but I have boated several quality fish in this area. It's just a mini point off a long straight stretch of basically nothing. She certainly caught me by surprise!!

Location: northern indiana		I didn't but using my muskisbumper as a rough estimate I'm guessing 24-25. Definitely fat fat fat full of eggs. Surprised she didn't spawn as the tail end of spawn was last weekend in our lakes.

Definitely a beaut Wally! Congrats!

I think that cold snap we had threw a lot of the ladies for a loop with the spawn this year...

I also heard tell of a 52" someone got on Sawmill earlier this month too.

Good time to be out.

I'll be out maybe tomorrow and definitely this weekend so I'll update conditions for all.

Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana		Nice fish for sure! There will be plenty of pre spawn fish till May. A lot of these Indiana fish spawn at completely different times...some do in late March...some do in April and some do in May...some don't spawn at all and hold their eggs.
