Re: Pickerel are spawning
The latest I have caught an open water bass or pickerel going back to 2002(before that I have no detailed records), was April 2nd. That date could be in jeopardy. The earliest? January 2nd 2008. Most years(7 out of 12 years) the first bass was the 3rd week of March.
Spawning pickerel - unlike bass - don't seem particularly aggressive. Of course its hard to tell since pickerel are always shallow in the spring. I've almost stepped on them in the shallow areas of ponds where the weeds hide their presence often in water barely over my ankle.
