Got out for the first time yesterday and worked the backwater. Saw 1 fish roll on the surface and pitched Giant Jackpots, Suicks and Magic Makers and got no response. Water temp was 49 degrees at surface.

Not far from where the fish rolled, we spontted two fish in the 38-40" class swimming together, side by side and touching... looked like spawning behavior. The DNR better get their traps out soon! I don't think they are planning to set them out until week after next, though.
