I would say fish the lower basin slow trolling. Who know the lake may still be frozen then.

I hope yall are feeling better.

Will be down May 1,2,3. Been a few years and have missed it a lot. Wish we could have come a little earlier but that is the earliest we could get away. Hope for good weather and good fishing. Being this late who knows what it will be like.

nice picks waiting on weather change here too in arkansas

I drove up to the foot today and she is locked up pretty tight, all the parking lots were solid ice only one I dared to drive on was at keystone and it was bad but its flat so I made the circle spinning half the time. Its gonna take a couple weeks of sunshine and alot warmer temps then we been getting to thaw out enough to fish. Even drove to some of my honey holes off great river road and they were all locked up too. So ready for this weather to break I'm going stair crazy. Seen alot of ducks and geese off grr and in the fields off the interstate close to the obion river so the trip wasn't a total loss

Man I'm so sick of ice, snow and cold. Bring on the spring!!

This winter has been absolutely brutal up in STL. Looks like choosing the 3rd week in April this year for annual trip might just pay off. Usually it's the 1st or 2nd week, and booking a year in advance is a crap shoot.

A windy 45-50 degree day with a little sun will do wonders for the lake. But when it does open, you better have bumpers on your boat cuz it's gonna be crowded! Everyone is ready to go fishing
