Wanted to hit an opener so my wife's first fishing expedition of the year was to Ohop. I was thinking that I might hit it at a good time with nobody fishing it and the little plants in there...

Did not work out as the water was a little colder than I thought it would be. Ranged from 54 to 57, or so. Spinnerbaits did nothing. Fished jigs hard and slow and managed to land 3 little fish. My wife lost one that she did not know was on. This was her first day ever of jig fishing. I told her that if she wants to fish with me then she had better learn how to fish jigs, lol, I am so mean.

All the fish but one just picked the jig up and swam with it. I set the hook on line movement on every fish but one. That one was the last bite that we had. I was trying to show her how my line just starts moving and it cost me. I felt the fish pick it up and told her that's a bite, then my line started going sideways. I just watched it trying to let her see. The fish took it 6 or 8 feet and then spit it out.

We ended our day on that note.

Lot's of boats, of course, for the opener. I only seen one other bass fisherman out there who was at the far NE end by the time that we got there. He said he had not had a bite or even seen a fish. I said the docks seem to be paying off.

Later, we talked to another boat who said that he seen that guy catch and release a "nice fat bass" off a dock next to them.

@ Fishininja, nah, you were on your way to the docks when we seen you, anyway. You had said you went down to the end to get away from all the boat traffic but everyone there kept there speeds way down and it was actually pretty pleasant.. The two guys in the little boat that had seen you c&r that fish were bass fishing when I talked to them, again. At first they were trout fishing until the seen you,lol. They asked for help so I showed them how to rig a worm hook. Is that the only fish that you touched?
