Thanks for the info guys - youre saving me a wasted trip. Down here in Haverhill the ice has been completely gone for almost two weeks. Went out in a boat on the 28th and to my surprise absolutely killed the bass. Mostly on jerkbaits. Got 21 bass between 2 guys and we had a 5-1 and a 5-8 along with three others over 3 lbs.... by far the best day Ive had this early in the year. Good Luck and thanks again for the info.
