If you look at the fishing reports, not much is happening right now, and maybe you are  waiting for the new license year, because you didn’t get one last year, like me, and there was no way I was going to pay for one in March, only to use it for another month, anyway, you know where I am coming from, get your license now, so that you won’t have that excuse next time! See ya at the lake!
