I've been out on a local pond in my jonboat a couple times, but have only caught a few - water temps still in the low 50's. Nothing to really write about until the action picks up.
Same here. Weather has been crappy (no pun intended) and I'm ready to do some fishing. Today seems to be nice and I hope it continues! My father went out yesterday and caught close to 30 Crappies. It's usually early morning or late afternoon when they really bite.

I'll post some pics (hopefully) the next time I go.

Actually, there is something cool I can share - the pond I fish now has a nesting pair of Bald Eagles. I noticed a big nest a couple weeks ago and wondered if it was an osprey or eagle nest, then this past weekend I watched an eagle catch a fish and fly right up to the nest, so now I know who lives there and who I'm sharing my fishing hole with. I've seen them fishing the pond several times over the last two years, and now there is a pair nesting there. I grew up having only ever seen bald eagles in zoos or on TV, so seeing wild eagles is something I get a kick out of. Its great to see that they've made such a strong comeback that I now often see one at least every week or two, all around the area. I guess there are several nests in the Montezuma Refuge and a couple more along the Seneca River, so they're doing well really well around here. I'm half tempted to pick up some 35mm film and pull my old SLR out of the basement so I can use the long-lens to get some photos this summer.
Cool! ... what speed film do you use? Anything 200 and above should work well. If you happen to take photos, post em :p
