Signs
« on: January 30, 2008, 12:18:11 pm »

I've been fishing so long I've grown into never getting excited about spring fishing till I see 3 SIGNS.

1. Magnolia buds
2. Lilac buds
3. Belle Isle water temperature @ 40

Use to hit it the second sunny day after ice out. That doesn't work.

I'm talking about bay fishing not so much the eye bite, I know that's earlier.

What SIGNS do you look for?

I look for an old red ford truck with a weird looking boat sticking out of the back window heading down I696.  If I see it, i know the season is here Smiley

That's an idea. I should buy a kayak. Cheap on gas & I don't have to worry about the motor breaking down.

Kayaks are cool.  We have one but I've never fished out of it.  I think it would be tough.  Doable, but tough.

Most fishermen sit at home in the winter, thinking about fishing.  Real fishermen go out and do it.
