Its almost time............

[Larson15]

Every year when the Sportshow starts to sneak up on us I start to get ready for open water. Last week I started getting organized and putting everything the way I want it in my boat. Dont know about you guys but my boat looks like a disaster zone right now! I'm at the point where I got too much stuff and not sure what to leave out of the boat actually to the point where it gives me anxiety!

For all you guys who are looking to make some purchases this year make sure to go to the Sportshow. Last year I saw deals that blew my mind.

Yup- its beginning.. First real sportshow of the season was last weekend in Fargo-- I know Wayne and Cecil were there.. I am at Milwaukee this weekend. I guess I only have about 1 or 2 weekends off between now and opener..

SOme deals to be had for sure!!!

I am finally on my way to being organized at the new house. 8' of pegboard and rod racks are up. I need to start painting some jigs and making up some jig and punch skirts soon.

I'm really chomping at the bit this spring. As a few of you know, I wasn't able to fish last year due to injury but am now ready to get back after 'em. (never gonna be 100% unfortunately) Got a brand new boat that is ready for break-in as soon as I can get a prop on it! I will have to keep the tackle organized better because my new boat is a little smaller than the old one. It's going to be a lot faster though!! The older I get, the less stuff I find myself needing to haul with me every day.

I would say it is time with the warm temps next week. I was bummed I have to miss the sports show, but my dad just got my boat out of storage so its ready when I get home for spring break on monday. Planning on hitting pool 3 a few days next week so I'm putting new line on the rods tonight.

Pool 2 is awfully tempting when you have to drive over it every day...

[bassfshin24]

Very tempting Nick...that is why I'm fishing it tomorrow haha. Not expecting much but going to give it a shot.

I'm really going to miss going to the Show, finding deals, getting vacation ideas, and just look at what vendors had to offer.

[sicheneder]

we saw some boats out on pool 2 on saturday, but the water temps on the main channel are still 38 degrees. i will say the water is still very low like it was last fall.

Any luck out there bassfishing24?

[Aaron Carrell]

I got out there Saturday with a friend. COuldn't find any smallmouth but we did stumble across a school of white bass that refused to bite. THey were busting the surface all over the place. Boated 1 pike, saw a few other pike boated and what looked like probably sheephead from a distance as well. Not sure if anyone else caught any of those White bass we saw. They stuck around for awhile. Didn't see much else going on, and the spots that we were pointed too definitely didn't have anything active on them. Sure was nice to be on the water though! Looking forward to this coming weekend again with the amazing forecast! Fish should be kicked into gear a bit more.

He got a sharp looking Stratos.

All I remember is that it is red.
