| From what Im reading on here there were more slow spots then productive. Which is a huge buzz kill. Lets hope the rain helps us out! |

I know someone who caught a 5-3/4 pound pre-spawn largemouth bass cow with a white spinnerbait, yesterday, but I'm not allowed to say where. They're out there.

My opening day was decent. I made a last-minute decision to not fish in trout-stocked waters. Batterson has been closed since November, but there were only 5 cars in the lot when I arrived at 6:15 a.m. It was perfect prefrontal spinnerbait weather until the hurricane showed up. 7 bass, nice day. Good to have my local toilet open once again.

Hey, back off on Batterson, baby!
Seriously, four feet of visibility in the water makes it one of the clearest waters I've seen so far this year. I think that I insulted one of the locals in a nearby boat when I said that I didn't keep the white perch I caught because I don't trust the water. He said that he'd eat any fish out of there, because the water's fine. 
BTW, I was just kidding about not trusting the water there. I took and ate my first Connecticut largemouth bass out of Batterson when it didn't survive a swallowed hook. It tasted great and I don't mind having the third testicle.

Batterson was two feet low, so a little rain is a good thing.

| Its been very dry. I couldnt even find nightcrawlers in my lawn for opening day. I was dry 4 or 5 inches down. The rain will change that too! |
