Got to go out and fish a the season opener (as a non-boater) with a local jon-boat club and managed to take 2nd place with over 16# of fish.
The air temps were in the low 30's with a steady 20mph wind all day. Tough conditions to fish in, but the fish seemed hungry in the morning. Everyone else reported just about the same thing. We caught them on jerkbaits and the A-rig. I threw around the jig for a couple hours while my partner through the sink at them trying to get a kicker, but.... it never happened. The winners caught an 8# an hour before the end of the tournament. Otherwise, we were in good position to win. Here's a pic of the sack minus 1 fish. My hands were too cold to pick up the 5th and hold it.
