You might catch 2 or 3 fish, but for the fish to turn on so you start catching a lot of fish ,I find the water needs to get above 60 degree F
At that temp,the bugs hit the water ,minnows start moving around and the bigger fish start feeding more as they can digest their food better just like a snake needs to do before it feeds .
So when the season opens ,its best to fish very shallow bays in a lake or those small trout ponds . This is where I will be at .
Spot on!
Back bays slay days are just around the corner
Kayaks are all kitted out ready to go.
Gonna be another great open water season.
