Our odd spring

Let's see, I've had a few outings this season with the first one at Cataract in April having warm weather, 60 degree water, a lot of fish and a good weigh-in.

The next two at Patoka and Brookville have severe cold fronts right before the tourney, 30+ winds, 30 degree temps, 54 degree water and no fish (at least for me) and the worst-ever weigh-in for a Top8 since I have been fishing.

Last week we have another great day with a lot of prespawn fish weighed in and 64 degree water at Monroe.

Today I go out to Morse and the water is still cold at 60 degrees and I catch fish anywhere from 1' of water to 15 feet of water.

I have yet to find a bedding fish and the spawn is usually in full swing here in central Indiana by now.

I guess that's spring.

I guess it's not global warming. Chronos

Would assume from the names that you are in Indiana? SamB

Yep, right here in central Indiana. Not a hotbed of fishing, but we have some decent lakes.

I think its starting to pick up - I can only bank fish and wade but in the last 2 week (other than yesterday - right after the storms w/ the river up) ... I've been regularly catching legal "river" legnth smallies in the white river ...

It seems like it has been a cold spring though. And I think there are plent of excellent (if smaller) lakes ... IF YOU HAVE A BOAT ... but that's where the new waders come in ... the river smallies may not be huge ... but they sure are fun on an ultra-light rig ...

Good luck on the top 8's ....

I used to spend a lot of time fishing the White River up in Muncie. There are quite a few nice smallies and largemouths up there. I've had a few fish in the past that were in the 5 lb. class, not bad for the river.
