Well, I finally got a chance to put the boat in the water on Friday. The day started out very cold, but was tolerable once the sun got high up in the sky. The water was a cold 40 to 43 degrees, the winds were light, and the fish had lock jaw. I did manage to get 2 bites, and catch two fish. The first was a channel cat, the other a nice crappie. Here ya go, my first fish of the year.
The dock was still snow covered.
My first fish.
My first crappie.
