Odd to see such small springers.. Ideas?

Funny how fishing goes. I talked to Clancy tonight and he said he's never seen so many big fish. Said last year a 20 was rare and this year he and Ron have gotten quite a few. He remains optimistic. Say's it was one of the best March's he has had. He and Ron have had limits or very near most days. He thinks the estimate may be low.
You know how opinions are, we all have one. No telling the how this will all wash out. but its always fun to guess.


They must have some special big fish bait or some scales with some freshly oiled springs..... rofl

No doubt there's fish around and by all means it's been good, but not 470K good, not even close. If we had those numbers it would be a no brainer to go out to the Big C and have 20 fish days, day in and day out... CR springers tend to stage and we don't have that many fish staging in the lower CR yet... If there were the netters would have slaughtered them. Maybe they're coming but I'll gamble on some lottery tickets before I buy into mythical 470K...

Again, I'd love to see the figures. I've got some red hot eggs I'd like to take out and do some back bouncing with. I'll light them up on the Big C with them if they come.... It will be like shad fishing...
