Wow what a spring. I have fished SML for 30+ years and this has just been a horrible spring for me. I only fish artificials and night fish mostly. Been going at it pretty hard since the first of April and to me its been bad. Just got back home from fishing most of this week, fished all over from the dam up to the bridge, craddock you name it. Caught 4 to 10 each night which is not good to me. 
I know the spring has been behind but i usually begin having good nights 15-30 fish when the water hits 55 or so. When it hits 65 or so 30+ nights are usally very common-not this year at al and last year was way off as well in my opinion. Not sure exactly what is going on, whether its just different feeding/bait patterns than the past, fish population, dam operations or what but the night bite has been different for the past two springs with this spring making me want to start carp fishing ! LOL!
