Was out today for a little bit. Got skunked! Water temp was 44 degrees.
Probably be another week before I get out again.

Was out again today and soaked a couple of shrimp for an hour and half.
Got skunked again. I should have checked the weather before I went out cause it snowed practically the whole time. Didn't get any bites but by next week I have a feeling it's gonna pick up.

Was out for a few hours today fished a tributary to the mon (muddy creek).
Was trying for some white bass to use for bait. Didn't catch any white bass but I did manage to get a largemouth about 15 inches. A couple other guys were there when I got there and they caught 3 smallmouth.
Looks like its starting to turn on a little.
I'll definitely be out on Sat. with some cutbait and try for channel cats.

Out again today and caught a carp a white bass and a walleye up in a feeder creek. It was 2 degrees warmer in the [email protected] 49 deg.
The wind was blowing right up the river and there were plenty of whitecaps or I would have fished the river. I was surprised the river wasn't up more.
