Had to go into the cover to get a bite. Pitching the soft plastic into wood was the only success I had. Got one nice pike ( about 3 lbs) only 1 small bass another pike and one crappie on a spinner
It was very windy. I did see where some fish were beginning to fan off spots to spawn. Finally saw some baitfish flipping.

Lake Chesdin
sunny/light breeze
muddy and maybe 52 degrees
from public boat ramp to maybe middle of lake
2 large mouth bass
spinnerbait and chatterbait
3-5 foot range
Tried some crankbaits/rattles/jerkbaits for an hour or two without any action. Switched to a chatterbait in an area that had little steepness of bank and a few weeds. Got that 4lber which woke me up. After that tried chatterbait a little more and switched to a spinnerbait on a small laydown and got a 3.5 lber off of that spot.
Was only my 2nd trip out this year, first was a skunking on the James. Glad to get some decent fish to start the year off. Water seemed very muddy there. Fished Chesdin maybe 3 times last year and never did that well but promised myself I would try it in the spring of 2008
