porkpie Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 Sitting on the side of my atv in the march sunshine jigging up jumbo perch. Got my fix of that today!
spincast Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 that summer spincast. spring is when jordan is still frozen. soon my friend, soon. true, but in Canada, the shoulder seasons are known for their brevity
mike rousseau Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 where do the bullhead run? up the creeks like the others? Yup... We call em bullhead... They're small catfish.... A 2 pounder would be big They come in the creeks and bite day and night... So you can fish em whenever you want... All you need is a hook and worm. and weight... I like using a float too...
moxie Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 Spring for me starts when I see my first robin. Yes we get them this far North. Thats what does it for me. Get goose bumps when I hear the first one sing.
Locnar Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 Yup... We call em bullhead... They're small catfish.... A 2 pounder would be big They come in the creeks and bite day and night... So you can fish em whenever you want... All you need is a hook and worm. and weight... I like using a float too... I know what they are lol, I just didn't know they came into the creeks so early. Or that they had a "run". I'll have to check em out whilst I'm waiting for other species to open
Gerritt Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 For me it is Robins, seeing the deer come out from the bush trying to forage.... Had 14 this afternoon... And the sound of the ice/snow running down the downspout from the eves..... Love that sound. G
lew Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 I was just out on the back deck and it's raining and 1st thing I thought of was this post. Nice mild temps and the 1st rain of the year is always a good sign that winter is on the way out...and that's a good thing
Mister G Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 The first boat launch of the year means SPRING is finally here for "me".
Blue Lk Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Spring peepers,otherwise known as tree frogs. When the bush around here resonates with the sounds of their mating calls I know spring has truly sprung. Edited March 14, 2015 by Blue Lk
Beavertail Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Posted March 14, 2015 I always enjoy the winter months, but for the first time in a long time I am really anticipating spring this year! Like mentioned in a previous post, I'm sure this mild weather is just a preview but I'm liking what I see so far! Can't wait to hear those Spring Peepers, then it's official.
mr blizzard Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 SUNSETS we only get them in the spring and the fall, beautiful one last night
Moosebunk Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 The iced up septic vent thawed and the house smells fresh again. Taxes. The boat and trailer come off the blocks. Just to name a few.
insurancebroker Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 For me, spring starts when the temperature rises above zero, the snow starts melting, and you can see the first signs of grass.
mike rousseau Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 I know what they are lol, I just didn't know they came into the creeks so early. Or that they had a "run". I'll have to check em out whilst I'm waiting for other species to open Yup I've seen them school up in creeks in such numbers that if you drive your boat up the creek you have hundreds of them swimming and jumping in front of the boat... Almost like Asian carp.. They also school up in bays.. As a starting point... Anywhere I've found crappie there have been bullhead around
Rizzo Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 my cat gets outside for the first time in months and brings back a freshly-killed bird within 2 minutes...new record
crappieperchhunter Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 2 things that make it "spring" for me. One.... first time my tiller gets out and tills up my veggie garden. Nothing better then a spring day with the tiller going, birds chirping and the smell of freshly tilled earth. God I love that day every year. Two...when my tarragon plants at the back door are about 12 inches tall. That means bullheads and crappie are a no brainer in a couple of my spring spots
danc Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 For me, spring starts when I can launch my boat at the lake of my choice. This was my chosen launch last May long. Yup. One week from June. So spring starts in June for me.

lew Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Looks like we took a step backwards overnight as everything is covered in a light dusting of snow this morning, but thankfully it'll be gone again once the sun comes up....hopefully LOL
grizzlybri Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 there was no snow here last night. some of my signs are my first run of the year Harry Spring Run Off 8km (April 4) also saw a swan while out on the lake yesterday huts being taken off the ice wearing rain gear to ice fish, did that yesterday Chris K talking about going steelheading Paying more attention to the Blue Jays then the Maple Leafs
