4-18-24 "O"
The unofficial goal is always to best Ernie by 1 fish.
It started off well First cast @ 6:50 and third cast landed first shad. The bite wasn't fast and furious, but pretty good. By 8:30 had landed 18 with some good sized moms to be. Then they all went to sleep. Landed just 5 more over the next 4 hours. I had enough, so it was lunch time at Brickmaker's. 
Ernie posted 45 shad for their trip yesterday, so maybe.... Not to be, of those 45 Ernie caught 33. Oh well, there's always next time. 
Ernie has the before and after pics if he wants to post them. He's been missing the sunrises so far this year

Glad to see you are still catching them. Too bad the numbers are missing. I might miss this year. Just got my boat and not set up 100%. First smallie trip tomorrow. Hope they are not in full spawn yet.
Always wishin' I was fishin'

They are starting earlier and leaving faster than before. 
Fletcher's still has some good activity but I am sure the biomass is greater.
Was that dog good? I talked to Dennis and he says they are still trying to chase down the Johnsonville Brats. Their supplier stopped carrying them.
Time to go fishin' again!

Hot dog lands in the middle between brat and kielbasa. Might have been a little past done, but still better than the kielbasa.

Re: 4-18-24 "O"
That's an early and welcomed sunrise. I bet it was a little chilly on the water too. No matter the day, whenever I see the plates of food....it just sounds like a good day of fishing. hahahaha. I too have not got my boat on the water yet, but it's ready to go for the season. This year I need to have a cover made for it and add the name "tramp stamp."
My kayak is ready to go now per my preference and for now I'm going without electronics. Maybe for the winter time I'll add something to help locate colder water crappie or something. But I'm ready to go! Think I'll try to go sunday local to get comfortable with the set up before hitting the "O" or elsewhere.

Sometimes you're the fly. Sometimes you're the windshield. Good news is you got out and caught fish and rewarded yourself with some fine food
