Today we made he attempt to hit the water early after a late night waiting for that ball to drop. Cooperman was ready, or he thought he was. It was just above freezing when we arrived. The digital sign in town said 33 degrees.
The winds were blowing 5 to 10 when we arrived. The lake had rose and fell 12 inches above the normal full depth in the past 3 days. The water was clouded. The best clarity was about 12" and it was at the lower end. The only bait that we found would catch a fish was a white spinner bait.
The best are on the video below;
Better Luck Next Time !!!!
