macmichael Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Does everyone on here fish for bass all winter long or do you have a cutoff date? Mac Quote
BenBassmaster Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I try to fish year round, only because its mostly warm where I live. Yet it does get pretty cold and I do get 'skunked' very often in the winter; but I just love to fish. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 4, 2013 Global Moderator Posted November 4, 2013 Yep, all winter long. I also spend quite a bit of time fishing for white bass and wipers during the winter. On very rare occasions I'll fish for crappie too but they have to be biting and have to be big to get my interest since I don't eat them. Quote
macmichael Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Define "here" I mean here not there!!!!! lol On this web site. Quote

Super User Catt Posted November 4, 2013 Super User Posted November 4, 2013 Most of my DDs came in cold water Quote
Ohio Dave Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 i pulled the battery last weekend. it was 26 here this morning and not too many bass on slow rolling lures could draw me out of hibernation lol Quote

Isn't that un-American? LOL Mac Even the walleye I catch get tossed back if I'm not fishing with someone who wants them. Walleye tastes alright, and I've had catfish and crappie that was decent, I just don't enjoy it enough to bother filleting and cooking them. Quote
Big Bassman Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I live in Iowa and fish as long as the water is not iced over and I can get my boat in and out. Once that happens I begin my trips south, for example I'll be in Texas the first week in December. If you can catch fish through the ice you can catch them in cold water. It is slower fishing and less productive for me, but you can't catch bass setting on the chair watching TV! I have fished 47 years for bass only, but do catch other species occasionally. Quote

That's why he rides by and puts them Walleye in my live well We are lucky to have spots that we can fish year round! IMO if the wind is under 15mph its go time! Quote
