Hey guys,

thanks for the info went out sunday in that blustery wind and got skunked for the second time this year off to a great start. we fished from 10-30 ft. and ran a mixed bag from floating raps to thundersticks to shad raps, reefrunners, and taildancers, and also a deep minnow rap. marked a lot of fish off esky beach prolly white fish or walleyes they were mainly in the deeper stuff like 30-50 ges they could be trout or salmon not sure if the big dudes come around esky this early... we had water temps 47 around the ford to 41 around esky and no seeum. was nice to run six lines this year first time ive tried it in my little boat ran lures on the four outside lines and dragged some large suckers about a hundred ft back with snap wts. read that article about the deadbait but the water temps are still below 50 so itll be a week or two or may be more before the browns if there still around will be in...

ps had a very nice encounter with a c.o. at esky launch he was very polite and respectfull. wasnt a hassel at all and he didnt hold us up a bit as we were moving the boat out of esky and gonna launch in the ford... thanks guy.

11 days and counting
