We have had about 4 days of mid 70's here in lewiston and a couple weeks in the 60's so when my buddy called me this morning and told me he was gonna go see if he could find a smallie it didnt take to much arm twisting to get me to try. although for some reason my gut was telling me it is still way to early. my time was limited as my kids needed to be dropped off and picked up from school so i picked my daughter up then dropped my son off then went to black sheep to pick up some stuff for drop shotting wacky rigged senkos. my daughter and i didnt get to the hellsgate marina until 2:00pm i started off fishing a 3 inch pumpkin senko (this set up is what i did really well with during the prespawn last year. I had one hit in an hour and a half and i missed it. well we had about 20 minutes left to fish before i had to pick up my son so my buddy threw on a fire tiger crank bait and hit a little guy on the first cast! I was like crap...........i didnt bring any crankbaits. my buddy had a couple more and told me to help my self so i found a shad colored number 9 sinking countdown tied it on and on the third cast i nailed a little guy also. well that was about all the time we had so we packed it up and headed out. i will be hitting it again tomorrow but we are suppose to get back down to the mid 60's for the rest of the week so im not sure how thats gonna pan out. here is a couple pics so you guys believe me. :-)
