THIS is the year. so if anyone is willing to let me tag along, i would really appreciate it. i pretty much catch and release........and no need to worry about me spot burning to friends etc. cause pretty much my fishing partner is my 72 year old father, who has NOOOO wish to do this. thanks in advance, for at least considering this.

Gotta say another bonus to breaking out the waders and taking a walk is all of the free tackle. Usually I peruse the shoreline on my way back to the vehicle, and tend to find quite a bit. Must have found $100 worth of crankbaits and the like last year alone. Throw on some new treble hooks and good to go. I've never bought a hot & tot in my life, but now have 2 dozen or better .

has anybody got any eyes yet?

Nobody that I have talked to yet. I have been out a few times now and haven't even had a hit. I'll be out tomorrow all day. Going to check a bunch of spots and see if I can find anything yet. I'm going to hit the spillway for a little, the causeway and end the day with some waist deep cold water wading to see if I can pick something up. Then I'll be back out Wednesday trying it again depending on how bad it's raining. Was thinking of taking the boat out tomorrow but with 20-30mph winds I'm just going to stay on shore for now. I'm thinking 3 more weeks before anything really starts, but I need to wet a line so I'll be out. I'll let you guys know how it goes when I get done tomorrow night. These gas prices are getting rediculous for making a trip for nothing so I would rather see you guys traveling catch a few rather than just handing over money to the oil companies for nothing.
