I had to take one today on bass but I did catch one stripe.  Jackson and I went to Monticello despite a terrible weather forecast that was accurate. It was cold to start and the wind howled.  We actually had a couple of good bites, mine on a ribbit and Jackson’s was on a wake type swimbait. In the middle of the afternoon we saw a few in the pads but they weren’t thinking about biting.  Too early once again. I will not be back there until after May 1st.
