Cold temperatures, snow, rain and general nastiness extending into May have built up a longing for the warmth of the later stretch of the season and the start of summer, and maybe with recent changes in the pattern, just possibly, that warmup is coming.

Lots of major weather events definitely got in the way. I feel good about how things played out. Even though I didn't fish the tournament, I was in tune with what was happening and what took place.
