Beautyfull day for fishing

Sunny 77 deg on March 8. I took the day off and went fishing. Fished Pinchot for 2 hours without a bite. Also not another fishermen except myself and a friend. Left And went to Marburg after lunch and got 3 nice crappie . One was 13 inches. Not a banner day for catching but it is a start. There were a few others fishing also with little to no results. Hope to get out in a few days again. My friend and his wife had there first child 8 days ago and it was his first time away from the baby as he is on vacation. He must have checked his phone 10 times. I think he had a good time just being away and fishing.

I was stuck in the office all day. Boy is wish I could have got out today. I must have seen 20 boats out until the Susquehanna on the way home. Scuttlebutt is that they got the first shad of the season on the Delaware in the lumbervillel area. Spring is on the way !

It appears we are going to have 2 weeks of above average temp. so perhaps spring may come a little early and the fishing will improve with water temps. I forgot to look for the eagle nest and eagle while at the lake. Fish were in 20 ft. of water so they are not ready to begin pre spawn. However one girl had fairly well developed eggs in her.

nice out on pinchot this morning...30º...looking for striper and crappie...no luck on either but 2 largemouth bit..13" & 17"...cold front the other messed it up...tomorrows another day
