1/6/2021 Overview of the year, Lake Conditions & Fishing

WOW, 2020 A year that none of us will ever forget, but one I personally won't keep foremost in my memory.   My wife and I have spent the last couple of months hunkered down and staying under the radar.  As we head into this new year, it's still a rocky start and we won't be back to any resemblance of normal for at least a few more months.  I am praying for stability and focus for our government leaders,  and for a quicker overall vaccination for all of us who want it.   My goals and plans for the year are set,  I expect to start getting busy in March for my business, and April bookings are already very strong.  
   On the fishing scene,  its typical January, the bass bite is slow to tough, the Crappie bite is very strong and will continue to get better and should remain good through April.   The bass bite will also continue to improve as we move into March and the pre spawn bite starts to kick in.  It looks like we will be having another low water year as the long range forecast does not look promising,  currently all the lake launching ramps are open except for the city of Lucerne. 
  As we head into this New Year,  I will be controlling my trips a little tighter, but I fully expect that things will bust loose towards the end of this year as the pandemic gets under control, businesses are allowed to re open, people can gather together, families can once more be families, schools, churches, back to normal and we can all celebrate safely.      God Bless,  Bob & Tary
