Same. I enjoy some panfish in the spring but can only do so much of it. Be nice to chase a few eyes for a week or so and then get chasing the bass.
I hear ya. I know some people have been river fishing for a while now but I haven’t because I’ve been turkey hunting and panfishing instead.
If they open up a C & R bass season next spring, that’s going to whittle away at my crappie fishing in the spring.
