Did you get your March magazine yet? On the front cover it says "When Crappies Come Hard." If you read the article it states that this has more to do with feeding patterns than spawning. What a disappointment. Oh well, I read the articles anyhow, I don't look at the pictures. ;-)

Spring is taking its time this year...but it will come...getting warmer here in Ohio now.

Mo65
sure hope it gets here soon last year temps were in the mid 80* and dry, This year we have rain /snow mix temps at night in the 30* plus for the last two weeks we had rain/snow mix with more on the way this week .   This time last year we were swimming in the pool  as of today I still have a giant ice cube floating in the pool 11/2foot thick 22foot round.

RT, thirty pounds of Catfish,,, will that be enough?

also don't forget about the T-shirts, if you would like one it can be ordered by email at  lacrossemeet2013@yahoo.com

 The menu sounds GOOD, Thanks Rod Tender.

Take Care, "Canepole"
