put in at 5am, 30 traps with necks, 5-8 ft.of water, had to chase 'em a little but ended up with 30 keepers
6 throwbacks, couple 7 1/2" very full and sweet, lots of mustard. the beer never tasted so good as with the first catch of the year.

Thanks, I've been visiting for a couple of years but finally decided to share my good fortune.
BTW water temp was 68.5, unbelievable for this time of year.
