After our frost melted, I headed out to Beseck for a few hours. 44° at the ramp @ 10am, and the water temperature was 56.8°. Only a light breeze when I launched, but it picked up on and off all day. Most of my Bass spots were vacant but I caught a 2lb2oz Largemouth near the dam after an hour of looking. I checked the shallow end of the lake but saw no signs of beds. The warmest water I found was 59.5°. I fished docks all around the lake with no luck, but did catch a 1lb2oz buck on a blowdown. There were clouds of algae streaking the water, about 1-2 feet deep, all around the lake. Kinda unusual for this lake. It was an enjoyable day, and the trees around the lake are ahead of the one's at my house, so maybe spring is actually gonna happen. 🤣

One of the benefits I'm lovin now,
Is livin so close to my lake.
I've never been lazy,
But work's goin crazy,
And sometimes a boy needs a break.
I've heard retirement is worth the wait,
You work all your life, then quit.
But if you don't plan,
You have to work, man,
Then go fish, if just for a bit.
When mama got home, she saw me exhausted,
My clothes all dirty from stuff,
She knew what I needed,
And so I conceded,
That fishin a while was enough.
At 1st it was choppy and pollen a flyin,
The fish should be active, I thought.
But east wind was blowin,
So catchin was slowin,
But sorry I went, I am not.
