On the water at 9:00 am. When I arrived the wind was a light breeze. By the time I had put the boat in the water the gale force winds picked up to 10-15 mph. With wind gusts I did manage to get some fishing in. The water temps at 9 am were 47.1* it had warmed up from last week by 7* as the day went on,the water had moved up to 54* Started out from the boat ramp on the NW side up N to the sunken log no fish. Moved down the Lk to find some other bassers on the lake in the pads so I moved over to the SE side and started N fishing docks that had been fish producers last year with no luck. As the weather started warming up so did the boaters comming in the Lk. By this time with the wind and boaters I headed across the Lk to the W side and fished N to the launch. Came up on an old log and started my pitching and the forth cast into the fallen tree and a nice little guy was wanting its pic taken in the HAWG HUNTER after the weight of 4.3 and the pic the fish was released to get bigger. I'll be back soon to up the catch count.
