Water at launch 35 degrees water up by bridge by plant discharge 56 degrees. I few boats were working bank by bridge not sure how they were doing. We tried Y cove, houseboat cove, and route 10 cove all we could muster was one small bluegill. Talked to a few guys nobody was doing great one guy picked up a few working the bank on the south side of houseboat. Main reason for coming down was to break in motor on new boat and that part of trip was successful. Great to get out first time this year good luck to all. West Access was all clear of ice by end of day.

Always great to get a new rig out. Congrats and enjoy
