I fished a small Indian River Lake with my fly rod this afternoon. Sunfish were shallow on the beds and bluegills were on the outside weed edges. Fish were very cooperative taking both the popper and the bead head nymph dropper. I caught fish of all sizes but plenty of nice ones to eat and freeze. It really is a blast to catch them this time of year.

Thanks for the report I haven't been down in a couple weeks but it's good to get an idea what's happening.

I was thinking of going to Lisbon this week. Lots of guys from Alex Bay hit it opening weekend.

Losing a great hunting friend is like loosing a great hunting dog. Both are impossible to replace and will always be fondly remembered. My condolences.

Fished Quinte Sat. and Sunday with a gang of 14 fisherman in 5 boats. We ended up with a good fish fry Sat. night and enough walleyes for everyone to bring home their legal limit. It definitely was a slower bite this spring with worms and spinners taking the fish. Sunday was particularly slow with high pressure, light winds and blue sky. Mostly smaller fish with a few in the 3-3 1/2 lb. range. Good to catch up with the gang again.

Good advice given. I use a small weighted float and 4-6 pound test line. 1/16-1/64 oz. jig with a minnow. Sometimes I put a tube jig on for added color and size but still use minnow and sometimes use Berkley 1" gulp minnow or 2" power bait. Many times I fish two and sometimes three rods varying the jig depth from 1-4 feet or more to find what they want. This allows lots of experimenting till you find what they want and then it's general game on. Water temps. are just about spot on now for good crappie activity and with the warm weather the action should really heat up.

I fished yesterday and kept around 10 crappie. Not fast and furious but they are starting to hit as water temperatures approach 60 degrees.

I believe there was a good run and we were too late.

Guess I'll stay up this way at least we're getting some quality fish.

What's up with Mexico this year?

I have a 2007 Merc 4 stroke and went to Don's Prop in Clayton. He put on a different prop than it came with from factory and although the top end speed didn't change much, the power improved significantly. My 18' Lund Alaskan runs around 29 mph and performs much better with the new prop. I believe the new prop is a touch larger and definitely has a different pitch. Unfortunately I don't have the specs. for the new prop but I'm sure Don's Prop could help.

We had a very slow morning fishing out of Mexico yesterday. In four hours only caught one brown about 5 pounds. Pulled and made a move to Stoney and picked up 3 browns (biggest 9.1 lbs.) and a 8.6 laker in a couple hours. Just shows the need of being flexible.
