Location: Des Moines IA | Got a peek at the FWA webcam, pistakee looks open, I bet the water temps are still very chilly. I wouldn't be opposed to searching out some schools of baitfish and casting suspended fish right now though! |

Location: where the fish are... | never too early to try, thats my theory, if you cant stand this cold an hour or 5 hours of casting is better than sitting inside no trying. good luck |

Location: Racine, Wi | Never too eary out there. We've gotten fish just after ice out in 37 degree water. Slide a little deeper outside of spawning areas and the fish will be there.
I'm in Florida right now, but I hope she keeps on opening. The rain forcast for today should help, but let's not have any major flooding this year. Sounds like a soaker today.
Now back to drinking beer on the beach for another 2 days.  |
