They are getting fired up!!!!

The weather was cold and so was the water but with a little bit of finesse, there are some big boys and girls hitting and they’re not even on their beds yet. The introduction of alewives maybe a contributing factor to some chunky fish starting to establish population. Multiple 2 1/2 pounders and 3 over 3 pounds so far in less than three days of fishing.

In the calm the bass were surface feeding or “gorging” on alewive hatchlings and pickerel were bathing in the sun on the rocky points. No monster bass in thus run but the pickerel were definately beefy!!

Have been offering a modified afternoon trip, the target is 5:30 PM till dark or a little after. Focused on the deeper holes next to structure. Massive schools of white perch as well as nighttime hunters. It’s a spooky good time.
