This is my first year of keeping track of fish caught, hours fishing, etc…So far in i’m over 800 fish in 2014 and have 540+ in march alone. Several 100 fish days, 40 fish days are becoming “Slow fishing” 
After mid Feb i mostly concentrated on panfish rather than walleyes. I’ve never had such good sunfish fishing in my entire life. One afternoon in 3 hours i caught 60 sunfish, and 20 of them were over 9″ long, measured. 8″ sunfish are becoming small in my eyes.
Best three days of fishing this months was a 6 hours combined across 3 days of fishing, and two different lakes. In those 6 hours i caugh 223 fish. It’s been out of this world great, and i’ve had the lakes entirely to myself the entire month.
Buying a 1-Man flipover increased my movability. When chasing these pan fish i’ve learned that it’s better to be incredibly mobile and to constantly move until you hit a hole that constantly putting out fish.
I’ve all but swiss cheesed a few areas of the lakes i’ve been fishing. 12-15 paces between holes, drill drill drill, then quickly move from hole to hole.
A large and Loud lure has helped me find lots of fish. Dropping a northland live forage rippin shad down the hole will bring in lots of panfish to look. Dropping down a tungsten shortly after they show up will surely make for a few bites.
1st year i’m actually a little disappointed winter is ending but i’m also ready to break out the big fish gear. Before you know it, i’ll be searching for panfish to use for bait 
I’ll be transitioning away from panfish to catfish/sturgeon & walleye in the next few weeks.
How was your hard water season
