St. Joe 3/22

[Take Six...]

First trip of 09'! Just like the others have said, the channel in front of Tackle Haven is 2.2 FOW but only for the length of those boat docks and then its fine. Ramps still were pulled out of the water. And yes that cable was still dragging all the way across the center channel under the high bridge, just go to the left. Surface temp in the channel was 53 and remained at 42 all the way to the pumping station. Church Hill to Cook hovered around 38 - 39. I trolled back north in 6 - 12 FOW for a couple hours without a bump. But boy was I digging the flat water and the warmth of the sun on my face! Had a chat with the DNR at the mouth of the channel on the return. He said a few coho we're being taken on the pier with spawn.

Sounds like fun.

Well at least you had nice weather and got that shakedown cruise behind you. Good Luck the rest of the season.

Must be nice to have the first trip of the season under your belt. It wont be long and the fishing should be red hot!
