Kelley Island

really didn't want to say due to the negativity I went threw last time lol, but yes made several trips last year looking forward to this year I made some upgrades on the kayaks for comfort ready to try them out.

You obviously survived so you won that argument. Last year I was more concerned about the water temps if something was to happen to you and/or your friend as survival is really short lived if in that cold water. How some people behave while on the water, even if you do know what you are doing those type people can and do cause unnecessary safety problems to occur with their negligent boating.

Planning a trip to Kelley's mid-April. Does water temp make a huge difference on whether I should be running cranks vs harnesses mid-April around Kelley's?

Once the water temperature reaches 50 degrees worm harnesses can start to out produce crankbaits. I'll generally start running harnesses along with my crankbaits when the water temperature reaches 45 degrees.

Don't forget spoons at this time also. Kind of in the middle of transition time, I think. Maybe one of the pros will weigh in.
