Big fish get caught year round here. Everybody comes in the spring when it's a crap shoot. But I understand because I like wade fishing more than any of it. But springs not the most productive for me. I'd say a summer time fish weighs 75% of her future February weight. Don't let that stop u though. I had 7 fish this past June right at 17 lbs. Thats as big as they get!
Here's a picture of the ones we caught in June last yearQuote:

Ditto...some of my best days with numbers of full grown fish, have been in June or July.Quote:

I figure if I take 4 weeks off to fish, about half might be good days weather wise to fish during the spring accounting mostly for wind. Out of the other two weeks, its hit or miss on fish actually biting very good. My general consensus is the weather and all is more consistently good after Easter going forward. But I've scrapped ice off the windshield in April also. Fish can be caught at any time of the year. A matter of just finding them when hungry.
At Sardis, if the wind is 8 MPH plus coming out of west/east, its tough to get where fish are depending on when fishing. 8 MPH will probably be 18 MPH on the lake! Just saying. Biggest challenge for me is always weather and not finding fish.
I'm like the rest. Just fish and have fun. And I wasn't trying to be rude on my post.
Use closest ramp to part of lake you target on windy days!!! The reservoirs get to rockin and will come in the transoceanic quickly!!! A Big lake boat can get into trouble!! I have been on rescue craft made for the Great Lakes with 200 plus inboard engines. At time dropped into waves and could se SWELLS out the bow!!! Watch Deadliest catch on tv to have the concept understood!!! Scared
our search party!!! That was back in spring of 1987 on Sardis!!! Larry Hall captained the vessel!!!!!
Thanks for the warning, Kentucky lake is like that also,it will be nice and calm one minute then a summer storm rolls through there will be swells so big all you can see is a wall of water I was fairly young the first time I experience this it was a good thing that I was going the same direction the wind was blowing I was able to ride the waves kind a like a surfboard. So I am very cautious when it comes to being on the water. I go to the Detroit River and Lake Erie every spring those bodies of water gets very rough quickly also .
Interesting. You crappie fishing on Lake Erie?Quote:
