Opening day tactics...

Looks like good weather for the opener. Ray and I are talking about hitting it early.

I'm going to rig up four rods. My baitcasters will have a jig/chunk trailer (Jaw Jerker with Zoom trailer) and a florida rigged plastic lizard.

I'll have my special wacky rig with a Chompers salty sinker on one spinning rod, and on shorter skipping setup I'll have a texas rigged french fry, weigtless as a throw back lure.

I can't wait to start probing the rocky and sandy staging areas for pre-spawners. I hope the weather stays stable the rest of the week.

Happy Birthday...

..to me.

I used to have a tradition where I would drop everything and go fishing on my birthday. Last year I broke the string (there was alot of lightning, and I don't do lightning, I had a bad experience once.)

Looks like I'll be missing another year today. I have to give a presentation in my seminar at Madison this afternoon and the weather looks like rain.

Oh well, the opener is just days away....
