While most were probably out at the boat show today, I took advantage of the (again) ice free lake and launched the Team SunChips Mercury powered Lowe into the 39.4 degree water of my local reservoir. Winds N/NW to 10 mph and mostly sunny skies made for chilly but pleasant conditions. Water was much clearer than the last trip, pushing 2'-3' visibility and good enough to throw jerkbaits in. I eneded up doing that for half the trip trying to entice a big fish, but only caught one normal sized bass on it. Did pick up 8 others sissy jigging, and have this related "tidbit" to pass along related to today's trip.
