Redbuds, dogwoods , plums and daffodils are doing it

[Ketchn]

And so were this fish on the northeast Bank of a small lake.....
It approached full on stupid for sure ..
Liked a tiny jig in black and chart about 3 foot under a float ...
Slowly dragging it and NO twitching allowed
I think every species in the lake got involved....
Close to legendary type action
Got my 8 lb test broke a few times
And we kept 1 catfish for my bud
All the rest got let go
KABOOM is near

Awesome catch bud, at least you’re giving us some hope!

When my father was a guide on Toledo 35-40 years ago he used the blooming of the Dogwood trees to switch to shallow water fishing. I catch so many fish deep, off the bank I rarely beat the banks anymore. Thanks for posting.

That’s what they do around here too.

Excellent job Ketchn or should I say Mr. KABOOM! That kitty fills the box nicely. Sounds like an excellent trip.

Same way up here…..If the dogwoods are blooming the crappie are busy, 6 to 8 weeks off yet…

Great post brother!

That's a great mixed bag day. Did you see what's breaking your 8# line? Catfish? Hybrid striper?
