Smokinal Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Finally got some soft water to launch in. Went out on 4-23. Ice had been out for a week but weather had been cold and rainy. Wasn't expecting much for temp; water was 42. Air started at 36 and went up to around 55 by 1-2pm. We fished from 6 to 11 but the bite shut right off as soon as the morning cloud cover burned off. I ended up getting 41 and my buddy with me caught 36. All on the jerkbait. This is a very typical pattern for this water just after ice-out. Not sure if it's bad luck or not but I caught one on my first cast of the year! Here's an edited vid of some of the catches early in the day when the bite was best and before the gopro battery ran out. 6 Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted May 1, 2017 Super User Posted May 1, 2017 Looks like an awesome day! Quick tip to keep the GoPro from dying. If your boat doesn't already have one, purchase a 12v power supply socket, an automotive USB charger, and a USB extension cable. You can install the 12v socket under your dash and leave the USB charger in it. Then when you go to film bring your GoPro charging cable and the USB extension and plug it in. You can run all day off your boat battery and never have to fiddle with it. 2 Quote
