I hear you Brian....normally it's Good Friday in coastal  N.C.,  but based on what I saw today,  I believe it's going to pick up in March barring any big arctic air blast.....

When the dogwoods bloom is a good indicator. 

Wow Dick thats what my Dad always said.

An old gentleman (Earl) in N.C. told me that  and when the dogwoods come in bloom the crappies would bite and we caught crappies lots of them so it's hard to argue with success.

Looking forward to bluegill?? Sounds like you got it good right now!
