Is spring really here??? Water temperature has not reached the 60's yet. The water temperature was 59 degrees. We caught 8 fish in today's 3.5 hour trip. We were drifting raw chicken breast and live shiners hoping to get a mixed bag. We caught blue catfish, channel catfish, freshwater drum, and a first ever smallmouth buffalo in my boat. I sure hope the water temperature warms up soon.
