[Bassin_Dude]

try using a small booyah spinnerbait in chartruese. then a weightless worm or lizards. throw them around any structure you can see. hope it helps

You could always catch some on senko's,but if you gonna fish that thick stuff use a bps floating lizard,or a weedless frog.

Trap it's just been tough conditions, I struck out yesterday for 4 hours of fishing, not even a bite. The weather warms up, then turns cold 2 days before you get a chance to fish. Keep at it, just start deadsticking plastics, or PNJ's really slow. When the water temps start to get into the 50's the bite will start to pickup quite a bit. In the meantime, just enjoy fishing, and practice new techniques

Well no luck it was quite windy out warm enough too not get cold had 1 little bitty hit on a jig thats it I threw crankbaits/spinnerbaits/jigs/ratltraps couldnt get anything so i dont know wether i should keep going and trying and just enjoy it or stay at home till it warms up! its suppose to be in the 70's all week !

I am assuming that the water temperature is still pretty cold, despite the few warm days. You might try a heavy weight on your favorite plastic to get in down into the nasty stuff. You can still fish the pads, but get the bait deeper into them.

[Bassin_Dude]

you should still go everyday you can. you never know, one day you could be out there deadstickin a worm and a double digit bass could wonder by and grab it

bassfisher,
You Got that right!
Look at many record books and notice what time of
year the big one was caught, its usually about march april

Im like lizards,I took the day off work monday and fished all day,I caught one small pike for all my efforts but I sure honed my casting skills after a long winter.
The water temps here are still in the 40s and monday the wind was out of the SW at a steady 30mph and the high temp was 60.
It was still better than a good day at work.

Things will pick up soon just hang in there.

Tomorrow is the day! I am going to the pond. Temp suposed to be around 70. Going after work for a couple of hours. I'm a volunteer fireman and we have bingo every wednesday and saturday. But not tomorrow. Finally after a long winter. RatLTrap, sorry I don't have any ideas except maybe a snag proof jig n pig. Good luck.

;DI am going too bob I'll wish us luck,it's supposed to be in the 85 area here in Houston 8) then a cold front. 8)

[Rich]

then a cold front.

Yeah-fortunately it is supposed to come through on Thursday, so conditions will have a chance to settle down by Saturday.

[bassmaster1983]

It's going to snow saturday and sunday here. If they bite wednesday i might be forced to go thursday or friday in the rain. So far next week looks promising. Went up to my cabin Easter Sunday to check things out. It's up in north/west PA. There is still ice on the lake. Maybe in 2 or 3 weeks with warmer weather it'll be ready. If not my local pond is just as good.
