First Week of March 2021

 Late February 2021 was the coldest week or two of the entire winter.  Not just here in St. Louis, MO, but almost everywhere in the US.  Texas got hit unexpectedly hard by snow and freezing temps.  Even the big lakes in central and southern MO froze over.  Most people living near them couldn't remember that happening before. 

With that weather system finally moved on... it started to warm up rather quickly.  The ice melted off all the local urban ponds within a week or two.

Started catching fish, although the action was certainly slow.

The first trip out was a struggle.



The 2nd trip out saw things start to pick up pretty good in some spots, still slow in others.





Caught 15+ big Golden Shiners up to 11" long one day.  This size, they actually fight pretty well, they were a lot of fun!
