First time fishing this body of water and conditions were a bit on the brisk side w/air temp in the low 30's and winds steady at 15 w/gusts at 20 to 30 mph.  Water temp started at 38 around 7AM and rose to a high of 47.4 around 2:30pm. Water clarity.........there was none ;D stained rust colored, bottom was muck with very little structure other then tons of laydowns and stumps littering the shoreline. Max depth that we could find was between 7 and 8' with an avrage depth of about 3.5. Froze our bearings off, but it was still nice to get the boat in the water, do some exploring for the up coming CAST FOR KIDS T next Sunday. We did managed a few keepers on jigs in the process but nothing caught worth posting pic's and now realizing our entry fee will be more of a donation than anything else! : Hoping this week of temps in the 50's wakes them up for the T.

It was a brutal day. You should just fish with us there tomorrow. A little warmer and less wind.

What time are you going tomorrow? I thought there was a T there Sunday?

I was planning on hitting the Smallie pond but some place closer to home sounds better once the chill thaws and I can feel my fingers again .

I'm not one to defend the park as a fishery, I fish the most pristine water in the state, but I'll tell ya, I've seen some bags come out of there that will make you say....."Wha....????"

You never know at that place.  Being an Ice out tourny, I think most guys look at it as a donation to a good cause and an opportunity for all guys to say hey to each other, regardless of club.  Like a season opener with a support theme instead of a competition theme.

At least you got out. I'm also looking for company tomorrow if you're interested, I'll be on lake X with an empty front seat.  Leaving about 1ish, after things warm a bit.

Watch out for those sewer trout.

Hope you brought plenty of anti-bacterial soap as well.

Keep trashing it. It will prove itself. I did it to Worden's for a few years, until I whacked a couple 5's and had 5 for 21 pounds in 3 hours.

I don't have to, the locals have done it all by themselves. I heard there are some old TV's in the back that hold fish.....

Not trshing RW at all,it was definetely cool to get out and shake off the cobwebs. I have also heard of some heavy weight coming in from there and hope this coming weeks of temps in the 50's gives-em a jump start.

Thanks for the invite Russ very much appreciated. Hit the Smallie pond today and lost a monster on the evolution jig

Looking forward to Sunday and meeting you all!
