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

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!!

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.

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.
