Jeff and I met at 07:00. We fished a couple of close places and had one bass. We headed up river and fished to near Carrs. I had caught one on a Ned and Jeff had 2 on a swim bait. We got tired of no bites and took off down stream. We wound up in Piney where we caught 2 keeper lmb and 1 crappie. It was a very slow bite day. The water was dingy and 46° to 51°. The wind was sw at 5-15. All in all it was tough today.
Where are you located? Would a camper run and setup then a boat run work. A couple of friends of mine did that for years. I was fortunate in that my wife could pull the boat while I pulled the 5th wheeler.
Interesting. I didn’t know that Tim was still around. I haven’t seen him in years, since I had one of his boats on consignment.
I’ll bring some next time we go and you can show me how to catch fish on them.
I have one of them. I didn’t even bother to get it out. It only works on dry snow and then it gets all over me. I am going to let it leave the same way it came.
It is 0° here now with a bad wind chill. The good part is we did not get the 10-14” of predicted snow. We probably got around 4” but there are some good sized drifts.
I too am so ready to get back on the water. In the meantime I’m getting ready for the next few days. I’m putting 150 seasoned sticks of wood in the garage. That should last 8-10 days and hopefully we’ll be snow free by then.
I guess I should have been more explanatory about the baits. What I was aiming at was something along the line of molded plastics (flukes, tubes, trailers, craws, swim baits, etc). I’m not really interested in a jig swap. I have two lifetime supplies of them.
Marty I used to start all kinds of plants out there when I had about 4,000 sq ft of garden but I am down to some asparagus and 5 tomato plants. When I worked in Springfield I had south facing windows in my office and grew tomatoes during the winter.
I’m not liking it but I can make do as long as I don’t have to get out often. I have wood heat in the sun room. When I checked it at 01:30 it was 96° on the sun porch where the stove is setting. It is 85° out there right now.
