We have had some odd ball weather this winter..... Going from 50's to mid 30's has not let any ice form except for quick melting skims. Sunday was a beautiful day with low 40 temps, no wind and lots of sunshine. Decided to get out to my small hometown reservoir and give it a shot. Tried using tiny jigs and waxworms at first and the small bluegill were ready and willing. Lots of bites, no size. I switched up another rod to a small pink homemade spoon (willow blade with added solder) about 3' below a bobber and started to catch some crappie. Managed to put 8 in the bucket before it was time to head home for supper. The 2 on the board are 13" and 11". Not a bad start to 2019.
