Today was tough fishing up here in the NE. The water temperature is trending down. Fish are pre-spawn, some spawn, and they seem to be scattered. After 4 hours of trying different baits and techniques, I did manage to get a pattern going. It was a slow jig bite on vertical structure with some weed cover close. BTW, the Straight Up Fishing TV Sweatshirt is thick, soft and warm.
