I also have a 73dv. Clayton has a 93sv, which does have side scan. Garmin can now definitely say that they have the clearest scanning sonar on the market. The LakeVu HD maps were a huge selling point for me. Most of the lakes I fish have up to 1' contours. DownVu is also pretty awesome. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Yep.

My favorite window in the spring is finally here. Last night ruled. All released.

Great way to cap off an already awesome weekend. Another 15+ fish day, and this 3.5. Now I think it's time to take the boat in for a few fixes and get in on the very short Walleye spawn window.

My own little slice of heaven has been good to me. Got out on Friday evening and had quite a time. Fished nothing but a jerkbait the whole time. I caught a few small ones, and a 2.89 that was pretty fun. I decided to fish the arm adjacent to the arm with homes. I haven't put much time into it at all, but knew it had a steep break and deep water access. Within 4 casts, I'm hooked up with something big. After the first few seconds, I knew it was not a giant Bass, but rather a giant Wiper. After an incredible fight, no net, and a face full of jerkbait treble hooks, I managed to get her on the scales. 9.14 LBS. 27 INCHES. Unbelievable. Biggest Wiper I've seen in person, what a fish. It was an awesome way to end the evening. Water temps were 48-51. My dad came out this morning to see if I could put him on some Crappie at Clinton. It was extremely windy and choppy, and a lot cooler than we anticipated. We bailed on it and went to plan B. I didn't think the weekend could get much better after Friday's trip, but it did. Again, fished nothing but the same jerkbait the whole time. I taught my dad how to properly fish it, and he was on fish in no time. I was so proud. Between us we probably put 20 in the boat, including my 4.23 pounder, which was an amazing bite on a jerkbait. Soon after that fish, I snagged a giant Carp in the tail. Fought it for probably 10 minutes and chased it around with the trolling motor, only to have it shake the jerkbait boatside. I'm not too upset, but it was probably pushing 20 pounds haha. I should have checked my knot afterwards, because shortly after I snagged on deep brush, and lost my Pro Blue. Other than that, it was another great day.

Man me too Coty. I might try and get out to Lone Star for an evening or two this week if I can get out of here by 4. SPRING!!!!!!

LaCygne was awful. Not a single bite was had. However, one of my buddies fishing the tournament hooked into a massive Blue Cat in 5 foot of water on a jerkbait. He fought it for close to 15-20 minutes before they had it boatside, and his partner couldn't get it in the net. The line broke just as it slipped out of both of their reaches. I got a pretty good video of it that's on Facebook. That was the highlight for sure. Got out to Lone Star this morning. There was still ice in all of the coves, so I fished just about every bank + the dam. Fished jerkbaits the whole time, Not a thing. Left at about 12:30 just as Clayton showed up. It looks like he did fairly decent. I knew I should have just stayed and waited for the water to warm up a little bit. I went to Clinton and busted some ice for Crappie. Ended up with ten keepers. Amazing day to be out in this weather though.

I'm hungry for open water. We're going to try and get bit amongst all the Backlashers, and if all else fails, sit on the bridge and fill the livewell with Crappie. Should be a nice day.

I could honestly care less if LaCygne will be crowded at this point. I need to be on the water so badly.

I took a gander. Nice fish Clayton.
