Also, the pond at the end of 6 mile creek.
There is a campground there (Willow Beach RV Park).
We used to drive in and just fish and nobody bothered us, but that was 10+ years ago.

I heard a few peepers last night which was odd given the temps and being a bit breezy I'm ready to go, just need to register the boat trailer and start the engine. Waiting on the weather

I guess it is still mid-March, but this weather isn't doing anything for my plans of a fresh bullhead dinner. With all the warm temps earlier, I had ideas of spending a couple evenings in the boat soaking some baits. Might as well pull a package from the freezer. That's what they're there for.

Always Trap. I have a good stash from last spring. Might not even bother this year.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I doubt very much that I’ll be able to skip it. Maybe I’ll just have a neighborhood fish fry to empty the freezer.
Love the hiss of a Coleman gas lantern.

Trapp I didn't look back but in my photo library I have a pick from April 10 & 12. Both good catches and really nice nights if I remember correctly and that was only a few days after ice out.

At least here in MA they are very active under the ice, so I am surprised you have any "wait" before they start biting...

I've got to get out for bullheads again. Been too long. My grandkids need to experience the fun of sitting on the river bank at night cooking hot dogs on the fire. As RG said, there is something about the hiss of a Coleman lantern that rounds out the night.
4 or 5 of us would get together a couple times a season for an all nighter fishing an oxbow lake off the Genesee river. We would bring back up to 100 fish. They got put in burlap bags and tossed into a creek behind my buddy's place while we went home to sleep a bit. The next day, we would gather for the cleaning. assembly line style. There was a log there where 1 guy would nail the fish to. The next guy would cut the skin and pull it off with pliers. #3 guy cut the heads off and finished cleaning them. #4 would start the process all over. Working as a team, we could do a pile of fish in no time. We would spilt up the meat to take home but keep a bunch out then fire up the cook pot. We used a beer batter seasoned liberally with finely minced wild onions and hush puppies with onions too. A few frosty cold beers completed the feast.
