Spring Pond 03/23
Message:
I pedaled my Hobie around Spring Pond for a couple of hours, from 10:20 am to 12:30 pm. The water temperature was between 40 and 42 degrees, the air temperature was between 36 and 37 degrees, the sky was overcast, and it was snowing, but there was very little wind: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6fRSdYW_o[/youtube] I didn't see any fish and, once again, my finder didn't mark any. I had planned to throw a bunch of different lures, but ended up throwing only a lipless crankbait and a wacky Senko. I also trolled the crankbait around almost the entire perimeter of the pond. My guess is that the fish are sitting on the bottom underneath the weeds. I might drop a heavily weighted Texas-rigged crawfish down there to find out. Unfortunately, I wore shoes with a single layer of socks and had to get off the water when my feet got numb. But, hey, now I know to wear a double layer of socks and my warmest boots during the tourney on Pickerel Lake on Saturday.

Phil, Do yourself a favor and pick up a pack of these: [url]http://www.cabelas.com/product/Wright-McGill-Marabou-Jig-150-4-Pack/1137924.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dmarabou%2Bjig%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=marabou+jig&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products[/url] I prefer white/red but I'd bet a chartreuse or even black would work nice. My Uncle Steve was the best fisherman I ever met, and he used to call them "those cheaty lures" meaning that on the worst day, you'd get at least something (that something might be a perch though). My big issue with them is they snag often and that's tough from shore. It shouldn't be a problem for you.
