first open water trip this season
Well March 25, provided enough open water for me to finally get my kayak out and try my luck at some cold water speck fishing. A couple of the small bays and backwater areas still had ice on them but the majority of the main lake was open water. Water temps ranged from 36 - 41. I was using my favorite little 1/64 oz chartreuse jig tipped with 1/2 of an Eagle Claw Crappie Bait. Suspending the rig 14' feet under a spring bobber using a Shakespeare 16' Wonderpole was just the combination needed to put some nice specks in the kayak. I hope this is a sign for how the rest of my season is going to go.
