Lake O Troll 3/5/16 w/pics

[SharkHunter]

Had to finish up a home project this am but salvaged a 1/2 day trip on the lake this afternoon. The word of the day was Cold! We headed out of bear creek and set up right out the gate, with a surface temp of 34 degrees and air temp at about 35 and east wind made for some brisk conditions while we searched the first couple hours. Found a few warm pockets at first but did not pull any fish on a westbound search. Spun around and it was east bound when came threw a pocket of 35 degree water in 11fow. That's where they wanted to be and we kept on them to pull 8 nice Browns. Leads off the boards were 150/175 back, 60 back on the rigger. Slow as we cld go with 2.0 mph speed working best.

Let a few of the rats out of the box to play, not one color was better then the other.

All released for another days fight.

Tight lines and good luck for everyone's spring, it's close.

Beautiful fish!  Wrapped up my ice fishing season this morning and will get the kayak ready this week for the weekend, can't wait

Nicely done, and don't worry, the warm weather is heading your way.  Was almost 70 degrees yesterday in South Dakota, and mid 60's today!!

I have the itch so bad to fish and this doesn't help, nice fish!

Thank you gentlemen for all the comments.

Went out yesterday and what a difference one week makes, the shoreline was full of boats and saw plenty of nets dipping in the water:)

Ran the same program as above and had a great time with the brownies. Best part was I finally got my kids out for an afternoon troll. I would say our season has started and hopefully everyone can take advantage of it soon.

Tight lines
