The warm weather, we will pay for this!

It’s hard to believe that these pictures were taken two Sundays ago. And here we sit with 75 degrees.

Yes, it is fun to have this warm weather in mid-march, but if this keeps up, we will pay for it.

We have had a couple good years of shore and near shore fishing due to cool springs. The longer it takes for the water to warm, the better the shore fishing will be in midsummer. If this warms up too fast, June, July, and August could be a bust.

We already have water temps in the low 40’s. We often don’t see this till mid to late April.

So, there is nothing we can do but enjoy the great Brown Trout action we have now. Browns, Browns, Browns. Some big ones too. Crankbaits, Thundersticks, and tube jigs are red hot. Spoons not so much yet, but that will be changing with temps breaking that magic 42 degree mark.

Get out there and enjoy it now and let’s hope that it cools off a little or we will be talking about carp fishing this summer.

The In-Fisherman Great Lakes Tube Jig article is in the can and will run in one of the summer issues. I'll keep you posted

Tight lines and smooth drags!
