Took a quick pick before going to work this AM-

They were in with the browns . Insane hits on the riggers up high- jumps and some hard runs Boats near us worked deeper water than us and must have been doing something. They were there for awhile.

Had a friend from NYC fishing Lake O spring for the first time. It did not disappoint. Had a steady pick of browns in the AM and lost a decent king. Things slowed a bit at lunch time so I changed things up. Took 5 kings from 2:30-3:00. 11-18 #. Riggers with frostbite and gator took the kings 5’ down and 8’. 12-16’ of water Did something like 30 browns and a coho besides kings. Great day on the water .Buddy took 2 home the rest were all released. ALSO Total darkness then back to light was so freaking cool on the water

I fished stagers Tuesday morning for a few hours. First time out in almost 2 years. went 2/5. Worked 75-95’ red barn to microwave-All fish on FF meat and plugs went untouched. A lot of weeds floating around- had to check rods often. Graph loaded with fish

I'm with Whaler- stealth, sometimes less is more but would like to add if you fish with older people those long lines are tough on them. your loaded up on some solid options for sure.

Congrats to all who scored already - some fine bucks down it’s killing me sitting in the camper on opening day here in Eden,NY. snow is up to my hips- heart attack walking Took me 3 hours to get over 4’ of snow off trailer we are hoping to hunt Monday maybe?? With more snow coming tonight 😩 not how I wished my fathers 60th opening day to pan out . GL to those out and those who finally get out

Gill- Im with you this time. I’ve been in Wilson since April 1 staying at my parents house while they are away. I go to work Monday - Friday and it’s fishable , weekend comes and the weather goes all to hell. Looking out the window now and the lake is ROCKING.

Wind blowing east now just ice tight to shore great looking mudline

Ice off Wilson this AM

Gill- Saw the first boat out of Wilson on Tuesday. I was hoping whoever it was would report here but no suck luck. Good luck to you if you make it out.

I am looking for a new paint job for this landlocked from 2000. It’s a pretty special fish to me for reasons -Some grease has bleed through on belly , yellowing the white The Blue on top just isn’t “ blue enough “ and the fish lacks its silvery shiny appearance it should have. I’m from the Buffalo area but will travel a reasonable distance - PM me if interested -Thanks

Why does anyone live here if they don’t like winter?????? It about Damn time we got a real winter again - ice fishing , snowmobiling , skiing, grouse hunting in snowshoes . This is the best winter in years! Our country is getting softer daily - now we close schools for 3” of snow and roads plowed to the pavement

Way to go bud- congrats too you both Was a beautiful day out there today
