This morning was the first time in the last two weeks that I woke up to a temperature above zero! The end must be near, I hope!!!

Well the G3 has finally made it to the water after a way too long winter. Ran up the Potomac from Williamsport and even managed to put a nice fat walleye in the boat. Boat did very well. Had a little trouble getting her back on the trailer due to the current and winds but a good time was had by all.
Hang in there we will all be fishing soon enough!

Got out a for a bit yesterday afternoon. Fished a bit from dam #5 down to about gift road. No luck. Water is still under 45 degrees. Hoping things warm up enough to head back out this weekend. As long as this snow doesn't melt and up the river again.

Just had 10" of the white stuff hit us in the last 24 hours...

Just might see you out there on Saturday. Temp was 42 degrees when I had it out last Tuesday.

I think we all have a long enough winter, but I know down here they have been catching fish for a couple three weeks. I finally got out with my family last weekend and we caught 15. This is the first fish of the year for me. I know it is not big but beats being inside.

Should be 63 Saturday but that just means I'll be outside trying to get caught up on projects instead of in the garage working on projects...

Williamsport is sitting at 4 feet but Hancock is showing another surge this weekend.

will be launching saturday for williamsport to try for some muskie and smallmouth.

I have little trust in the gauge prediction at Hancock. It reads notoriously high. We rely on it a good bit during fall/winter for waterfowl hunting, but it always seems to error on the high side. Just this morning it was predicting over 10' for Friday into Saturday. I'm sure this warm weather will finish off the snow melt and raise the river some. Just hoping it's not too much!! I'm debating on going behind my house at dam #5, or putting in above the dam and fishing my way up to licking creek.

Any luck? We got out for a few hours Saturday afternoon. Fished up close to licking creek. I missed one and that was the only bite all afternoon.

It happens. I ran out of gas last fall above dam #5 below my friends boat ramp. Was a LONG slow haul back with the trolling motor.

I talked to another guy up past McCoys Ferry. Said he hasn't had any luck at all this year. I'm thinking a little warm up will make the difference.

I think I'm pulling the tarp off the boat after work today and pulling it off the yard and into the driveway. We are supposed to get a lot of rain this weekend so I'd prefer to get the boat off the yard before it gets really soft. I'm usually in the water by now but this year has been rough.

Got the boat uncovered and put back in the driveway. Now it's time to start planning the Merc 60/45 jet swap.

Might want to look at a map and count again.

 

[user 6672]

Was going more by road mileage i guess...

map says mile 920 which is a few miles south to ER launch @ mile 880.. so i guess it was only 40 miles..
