Went ultralight jigging in 58 degree Carnegie Lake this evening on a cold, sunny day with a moderate west wind. Caught and released 3 largemouth bass, 2 yellow perch, 2 bluegills, a black crappie and a red breasted sunfish with a 1/32 oz Temu twister tail jig on 2 lb test line. 12 other fishermen caught nothing. Catching warm water fish in cold water is very difficult.

But it was still a good day!

Glad to see you catching, for in an earlier thread you mentioned that this has been the toughest year of fishing for some 70 years. Well I'm not quite that old (just a few years short) but I will say that this is the toughest spring for us also. Now they are calling for a record high summer so we'll see how warm the water fishing adds up then. Until then, Fish On!

Excellent catching Bands! Should be a nice day today. At least Sun for my friend's funeral. All good.
