Gord April 9, 2012 at 8:24 pm Reply Thank you for your input. Some day you will guess correctly and perhaps your bitterness will diminish….
Gord April 10, 2012 at 2:54 pm Reply Some downsides to an early spring will be: -if water temps are warmer than normal then forget the shallow water bite for lake trout…..not a complete loss though, just use a deeper diver -some of your favorite shallow water, spawn and post spawn walleye spots may not produce as the fish may have either scattered or moved to deeper structure. Some of the upsides to an early spring will be: -some of the best walleye fishing, in my opinion, occurs when things start warming up, new weed growth is emerging, and the walleye seem to be in more locations. Generally there are more potential good fishing spots closer to VBL than in a cold spring. -no snow to shovel off your boat seat
Andy April 10, 2012 at 3:46 pm Reply Gord, I hope you got some well deserved rest, went to bed early, woke up and declared April 10’th the winning date? Andy
Professor April 10, 2012 at 5:22 pm Reply No Andy…A reliable source at VBL has assured me that ice-out will “officially” occur this Saturday, April 14th.
