Fishing had been tough but since spring has started with warmer weather. The action has turned on. The past twp days we have caught more fish than we have in two weeks. Both days have caught well over 50 fish. We are catching them from live shrimp if they have them to plastics on a slow retrieve. The more days we have warmer weather and these fronts start to slow down fishing will be getting awesome.
