Pool 2 Last Evening

I got to the Lilydale ramp and was pleasantly surpised to see DeeZee launching. I chatted with Steve and he was nice enough to park my truck and shove my boat out.

We both were fishing the same general area. I think Steve was doing a more vertical presentation and some pitching. I was dragging and doing a little pitching with ringworms.

I ended up catching a feisty 2 lb smallie and a very feisty whitebass about the same size. I think Steve had a few saugers and walleyes and he was still fishing when I left.

The clarity is dropping, the river is up some, and there are some ice chunks and a lot of bottles, cans, and other trash to watch out for. Didn’t see any big logs but I’m sure they are coming.

Nice to see you Steve! It was fun kinda fishing with you!

Thanks for the report. Glad to hear Lilydale is clear! I’ll be down there tomorrow in the afternoon. It will be good to wet a line in the open water!!

Good to see you Joel.
After you left I had a nice little flurry and then it shut off hard. Fun while it lasted.

I think the bite next week could be real good if things keep progressing like they have been. These high 30 and low 40 degree day tends to slow down the remaining snow thaw a bit compared to that beautiful weather we had earlier in the week.

Should be some big fish starting to show up in the coming days…..hopefully today!
