Baffled we are ?

[GreenLine]

Maybe ya'll missed the spawn ??
I know for a fact a lot of people had no clue they had started spawning around March 1. The water was 58 degrees. Every Male was black as coal and some of the females had empty egg sacks, others were still full.
For a week I was catching them while all the other boats were out in deeper water. ( catching smaller fish )
I will say the strikes were very light for spawning fish and I had to pester some into biting.

Edit- Also , this could be one reason its off this year- We had lots of rain and high water, this may have triggered an early spawn ??
