April 20-21, Potholes was still around 53F in most areas, up to 57F in secluded shallows. It is getting warm in the daytime over there, so it should be warming quickly and the fishing should really be getting good in the next two weeks.
Apparently there was a cold snap? Why didn't they tell me? Actually, there was a tipoff. I went straight to Moses Lake to go to Tri-State and Safeway, and noticed a giant tumbleweed (about the size of a Geo Metro) blowing down the Westbound lanes of I-90. An East wind is not good...cold. I would guess this swirls down from the Arctic.
As it was, fishing was fine, catching wasn't. Everybody reported poor results, not just me. I did touch a few fish, but I decided to head home before the weekend.
FYI, I got all the electrical stuff working...both DF's, horn, etc. Everything 'cept the stern light, which I didn't need. Got over there, and the bow DF quit again, right away. Probably transducer this time, and it's a new one. Boats....gotta love 'em!
