Gave it a honest try this morning , water higher than I have seen it in along time, two gobys and lots of floating debris. Nice morning on the river even no the fish didn't cooperate. Tried trolling bb and also jigged a few spots.

Well didn't make it down today or tonight like I wanted to. With the way the weather has been had to get things done around the house. I will be down there in the morning for sure and try and get some of those eyes.

Kevin, I am trying to remember if the water temp is colder than normal, I am thinking it should be in mid 60's.to upper.

I new it was gonna be a tough night because of the boat traffic and the poker run today but after reading Kevins post and Prof T earlier in the week this would be my first chance to get out on the river and give it a try. Tried trolling 4 diff. spots with 9 oz BB and rapala and also tried worm harness and jigging. I did manage to jig 4 gobys in about 65 to 70 fow. I did all my trolling in 30 to 45 fow. To me the water seems to be cold for this time of year, I fished Lisbon opening day near the port and the water was 50 degrees then tonight the river was 56.

Massena Dam at night.

Hoping to hit the river this weekend also. I think we are still 3 or 4 weeks out before we will see some decent mornings and nights. From my past experience. I have tried but for what ever reason it may be seems like end June first part of July is when it gets going. I will also post results when I get out.

Was on the river between fishers landing and the bay sat. afternoon with the family just to get out, the channel was 49 to 50 degrees . I didn't get into any of the shallower bay has to be a little warmer.

My mother and father in law did very well late morning, early afternoon on the crappies, I am thinking when the wind was the strongest makes for a nice drift you can cover a lot of ground. All caught on tube jigs and bobbers over weed bed 6 to 8 fow.

Thanks for the info Kevin I just thought I missed it because I talked to a few guys that said it was hot over the weekend and I couldn't believe how fast it shut down.

Fished a Indian River lake this morning from 5;30 till about 8;30 for some big crappies tried along weed edges, rock shore line and also some down trees along the shore line. We did manage to catch a few smallies, rock bass and had one crappie on and lost it at the boat . I think we might have missed the good spring bite by alittle. The water seemed to be fairly warm, thinking they might have moved deeper will have to give it another shot some time.

Good luck in the AM Kevin I am headed to one of our indian river lakes to see if I can get into some of them big thick crappies. I am hoping to leave early. I will keep you posted.
