Opening day was one of the best in several years as fairly strong NW winds were whipping up some pretty good whitecaps allowing one to drift the shallow mud flats and either casting and retrieving or drifting with the bait behind the boat. Both ways produced eyes and plenty of them, it was interesting with the new slot size as a good deal of eyes were over the 15 inch limit and had to be released, but with a little patience we limited on nice fish. Sunday was a complete turn around as the winds switched to the NE with stronger winds and a 20 degree drop in temps, not a nice day by any means, after 4 hours of bouncing around we hung it up with 3 decent eyes in the well. A good family opening anyway. Yesterday wasn't much better with NE winds switching to the East, managed 3 keeper eyes and a half dozen nice pike. Everything came out of the river channels. Most all our fish caught came on weedless Invasion jigs tipped with a variety of minnows, muds, fatheads, and golden shiners. Back out today to do some major scouting.

Will keep you posted.
