I have heard so many stories from tackle shops saying people are getting fish. But it is interesting how there are no weigh ins. Who wouldn't want a gift certificate for the first weigh in of the year. I agree with Dark's water temps. What you read is not waht the temp is deeper in the water column. My comment of the water being crap was a reference to how cold it was. Looking at my logs from last year, the ouside temp was 60 for several days. Yes, i started to catch fish consitently starting March 17th. but the water temps low and high were hovering around 50 to 52. It was not a drastic change between high and low tides. That is what you want, more consistency in the water temps. Middle or end of next week show start to show more signs of fish. There have been a few shorts caught so far, so it's looking good.
