Water temps starting to warm up nicely!!

Found water temps as high as 58 degrees yesterday in back of the mud bottom bays while beginning my search for early season pike. I believe the Big Gators are going to have a tough spawn this year with the lower water to start it off leaving much of the prime dropping areas high and dry. This very well could cause the fish to bunch up in isolated prime cover. Caught 9 fish yesterday while tinkering around with the new boat, but nothing involved in the spawn cycle, and mostly smaller dinks. Biggest fish was only about 5lbs. Should start seeing the big females show up very soon should the weather continue to hold out. We’re getting down to freezing at night still and the water is peaking for a short period of time. Look for the Big fish to start ripping drag the first part of next week in my estimation with some regularity!! Pack the rods boys!! We’re just about GO TIME, and there is going to be some AWESOME GATOR ACTION before the fishing opener!!

Lookin good for the 2nd week of june yet maybe chris? thats the soonest I can get up there. That time frame worked last year with the chilly temps and all. Hoping to see the bigguns in shallow again this year.

I think that will be fine pal!! We’ll get after them NO DOUBT!! Shoot me a PM, and we can discuss options. Have to better that little walleye you boated last year

chris you sure are getting me excited for my trip in may with your posts!! do you think we will be be able too target walleyes and crappies with success in late May this year with water temps rising so fast what species do you think will be on the frenzy then?

Snazzy looking boat there buddy!! Any fish slime in it yet?

Hey Drew,

My guess is we’ll be multi-species angling pal!! Should be able to target Pike, Smallies, Walleyes or Slabs.

Hey Bill!! Thanks!! Have had it out a few times prior to heading on the last family vacation until Deer Camp!! Slimed it up with a few pike, but should be getting a nice dose of fish grease starting this week!! Unbelievable fishing machine this WX2100 is though!! I’ll get you out in it!! Hold me to it!!
