2003 Smallie Pictures

2003 has started off very slow because of the VERY cold winter we are having. Most years the rivers/streams are free flowing and winter fishing can take place, this year ever since the 2nd week of Jan. the streams are almost completely frozen over.Its now mid Feb. and still the waters frozen with no end in sight...come on SPRING!!

FINALLY.....the weather has broken and the waters are starting to stablize some what here in Ohio. This past winter has been one of the worst i can ever remember and one of the worst on record. The creeks were iced over from the begining of Jan. til mid March this year. The last two weeks have brought the best fishing so far this year with 4/15/03 landing 7 smallies and 4/17/03 landing 11 smallies. The best is yet to come though..STAY TUNED!!

Hit some smallies again with my buddy Dave Skulich today. Times were slow as lots of the smallies i think in this stretch are starting to spawn? We caught smallmouths, crappie, rockbass on this trip. The picture is of my best of the day.
