OPENING WEEKEND UP HERE IN WISCONSIN USUALLY IS THE FIRST WEEKEND OF MAY. NEWS ARTILES AND TALK AMONGST PEOPLE WAS THAT THE ICE MIGHT NOT BE OFF THE WATER IN TIME ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN WI. WE DECIDED TO GO UP TO THE CABIN FOR THE WEEKEND. WE ARRIVED SAT. EVENING AND HAD LOTS TO DO IN ORDER TO GET OUT AND DO SOME FISHING. WE NEEDED TO PUT THE DOCK BACK IN THE WATER AND SEE IF THE BOAT WOULD START. WE GOT OUT FINALLY AROUND SEVEN OR SO AND FISHED UNTIL DARK. WE TRIED A CAROLINA RIG WITH A CRAWLER, MINNOW, AND LEACH. NO LUCK. WE ASSUMED THAT THE FISH WOULD BE DEEPER SINCE WE HAD A LATE WINTER AND THE ICE JUST GOT OFF OF THE LAKE. WATER TEMP. WAS 46 F AND IT WAS SUPER WINDY. WE TRIED A HANDFUL OF LURES EACH AND NOTHING. THE LOCATER SHOWED THAT THE BASTARDS WERE DOWN THERE BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT WHAT WE HAD TO OFFER THEM. WE DECIDED TO HEAD IN AND GET OUR DRINK ON. WE WENT OUT AROUND 10am SUNDAY AND TRIED A COUPLE DIFFERENT SPOTS WITH THE SAME METHODS. NO LUCK. IT WAS JUST AS WINDY AS IT WAS ON SATURDAY SO FISHING WITH BOBBERS WAS A CHALLENGE. WE BOTH HAD A CASTING POLE AND TRIED MANY TYPES OF LURES. WE MUST HAVE THREW ABOUT 500 CASTS AND NEITHER OF US COULD GET A THING! WITH IT BEING WINDY AND COOL AND NO FISH I WAS READY TO CALL IT QUITS. SO OPENING WEEKEND WAS NOT GOOD. WE TALKED WITH A FEW PEOPLE AT THE BARS AND IT SOUNDED LIKE NOBODY GOT ANYTHING. I WAS STARTING TO THINK THAT WE FORGOT HOW TO FISH!!!!!!! OH WELL :) IT WAS STILL NICE TO GET OUT AND ABOUT IN THE BOAT
