It's gonna be cold!

Well, I've been waitting all winter long and tommorrow I'm heading out for the first time this year. Boy it's been a long wait since last november. Problem is, it's COLD. Temps tonight are going to stay around 31 degrees. It might hit high 40's tomorrow, but I'll be launching around 6am. Brrrrr. Even though the lake has been ice free since March 10th, it's been more like winter than spring since then, with rain and snow sqalls blowing through every week. I'm sure the water temp is around mid 40's. I think I'll head out with my rods rigged with both a shallow and deep diving suspending Rapala X Rap worked slowwwwww. A jig n pig on another rod, and a chatterbait on the 4th rod. Rod number five will have a soft bodied swimbait. Waitting in the wings will be a spinnerbait, a wake bait, a Tru Tungstin 4 inch swim bait, and a medium diving crankbait. I'll probably give the Rattle Trap it's fair share of time as well. If none of those work, and I'm not freezing to death, I'll try working a soft plastic T rigged and worked slowly.
