Not that I've caught the 1st open water slab around here ,but we are in them.
4 days after the ice goes out we caught 30 which is pretty good when you concider the water temp is 40 degrees and they just came in to stage up for the spawn as was evident last night .
We saw hordes swim through the creek.
I took the beard off so peak at this picture.
I'd hate to see anyone's eyesight go on the fritz!
Dude was with in today's spanking.
We caught a few bass and a pike too.
We did not get any gills which does not suprize me,they'll be in for the rearing in about a week to 2.
These fish were just gorgous.
Here's a few videos too.
