Terrierman Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 First time I ever backed the boat and trailer far enough in the water to float the trailer before it thawed out and let go. Ham and grizwilson 2

BilletHead Not trying to be "that guy", but I've fished colder days a few times. I did a solo wade trip on Norfork when it was 13 when I left the house. The access was 10 minutes away so it may have warmed up some. I put the BassCat in at BSL when if was 16, but the boat was dry so it wasn't frozen to the trailer. It was a little chilly at Jigfest. grizwilson 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

You have the clicker and it keeps honest track of your tally! I did have 13 on my truck when we left the lodge Friday morning. Still amazed I did stay warm fishing. Again thanks to you fellows suggesting waders regardless if we waded or not. 9 minutes ago, grizwilson said: Me either but I have backed the boat onto ice along shore to break the ice and launch to go to clear water in the middle, one time when it collapsed it broke out both sides trailer lights, but I was younger then. I have broken ice too but not like that . Have went down icy steep ramps where I had to get help getting back out too.

This past january I fished at cotter with my bay boat. it was around 12 degrees when we got there and got all the way up to 25 by the time we left.

Quillback Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 I don't know what my personal low temp record is for going fishing, but I recall one morning where it was single digits on a Washington winter steelhead outing. I also caught a 15 lb. steelhead that day, my personal best, so I set two personal records that day. If someone from Minnesota sees this thread, they'll humble us all with tales of ice fishing in below zero temps. Ham, grizwilson and Daryk Campbell Sr 3
