This was a two weeks ago. That's actually Billbob's house in IN, but it was an awakening for me while on my way to IL. I went to IL from there and encountered even more of that nasty white stuff, yuck!

And now I'm home baby.....in the warmth again, and catchin' again too....

Good to know that the crappie are still out there and have not turned to summer mode yet. The one my daughter is holding looks like it has a belly full of eggs still. Interesting. But I don't know because they were all released. yay Florida.....
Yes Slab some fish have yet to spawn. Still releasing big females that were full of eggs. Some will spawn up into June and July according to FWC reports.
I'm with you on not liking the snow and cold but I do miss the hot spring bite that comes after the cold.......crappies.....walleyes.......smallmouth. ..........white perch......
