Tournament season

This weather has been unbelievable. Unfortunately, I've been unable to take advantage of it. Maybe this weekend that will change.
Of course, the downpour Thursday morning didn't help anything, except maybe to fill Buckeye a bit. Dillon was five feet above summer pool when I last checked. Knox won't be high, but I wonder how muddy it is.
I have heard bass were being caught at Buckeye before the rain came, crappie were hitting at Apple Valley and water temperatures were reported near 60 degrees at Knox (and probably elsewhere).

New season here

Just a quick note to everybody: I know I've been negligent in keeping things active since fall, but there hasn't been much going on and work's been keeping me busy. Translated, that means when I get home, I don't spend much time looking at a computer screen.
But, with the beautiful weather that's here, I feel like I should be getting back in the groove. I'll try to post weekly and more if I have some news to pass on.
Right now I'm trying to catch up with all those things I should have been doing over the winter, like spooling new line on reels and sorting tackle. I just hope my boat tags get here quickly so I can get out on the water while it's nice!
Thanks for checking in and Ill have some news on here soon.
