Come February I always start getting anxious for the thaw. Even though the water might not start to open for 6-9 weeks... I see February as the only month in my way. I usually find open water in Mid-to-late March. That doesn't sound so far away.
February is the season of love. In the South, the largemouth will start their spawn soon, moving onto the flats. The anglers of the Bassmaster will likely see a chance to target early spawners in Alabama, as well. From here, the tidal wave of love will sweep up the eastern coastline and eventually settle in New England by around the first week of April. It's just a matter of time. The days are getting longer, the average temperatures are beginning to rise, and every day brings us closer.

Awaiting Spring
by Lucky Basstard on Wed Feb 03, 2010 4:58 pm
- Twas on the Fifth day that the fish and fowl were created.
- On the Sixth day He made man in His image and let him have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the fowl of the air.
- On the Seventh day the Lord rested, and I picked up my rod and gun.

I hear ya man, I'll be at work looking at the calender, when i start to pick the day i'll go out and catch that first fish of the year, it's a real long wait, but it's all worth it.
Feel how easily the bait moves? That's a rock.
Feel it pull? You're taking it through vegetation.
Feel it grow light? Your on a brush pile.
Feel it explode and almost jerk the rod from your hand?
Thats a bass.

The ice isnt even done freezing yet.
How can you think about having it melt.

That's all I think about.
- Twas on the Fifth day that the fish and fowl were created.
- On the Sixth day He made man in His image and let him have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the fowl of the air.
- On the Seventh day the Lord rested, and I picked up my rod and gun.

I always hope for SOME open water by April 1st to wet my line. That's less than 50 days by my count...

You guys need to get some ice gear. You're missing out big time.
Besides, unless you fall through the ice or wear a t-shirt you won't have a worst fishing day story while ice fishing. Plenty of time to kick back and drink some PBRs. No boat required.

Well, maybe I'll make a trip to Dick's this weekend and see what's up.
