Good job on the fish and report Fred. Never thought about using a fake coyote to scare off geese. Slicker than goose poo takes on a new meaning when it's all over your lawn.

Hey Fred. Good job. I just go t back from Louisiana - watching the world go from almost summer back to early spring as I drove north. I was wondering how the fishing is with respect to the water temperatures (the Connecticut river is just above 52 degrees in Northfield) so you proved to me that it's about time to start getting the boat ready. Things will only improve from this point on - unless it snows again. Harry

Thanks Dave, I was surprised at the lack of activity in some good conditions. Naturally I think I'm doing something wrong, but in the end it felt better. If another storm wasn't blowing in I would have made another lap around the lake just for the fun of it.

I think it all comes down to being in the right place at the right time, when it comes to “catching”...🐟on

Nice fish Fred . Glad you kept the skunk away. I got out last Thursday for couple hours for first time this year. Saw nothing, no nibbles, caught nothing. Enjoyed the fresh air and peace and quiet. I considered it a good day.

You got that right Harry, we're about a month behind schedule here too. Mother Nature is dragging her feet.

I probably could have caught panfish if I was trying, but I wanted the big bucket mouth. Settled for a medium, but it's better than Pepe. LOL

Some consistently warm, dry weather would improve results here for a lot of people.
