Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted March 31, 2014 Super User Posted March 31, 2014 not frozen i fish.. got one of my biggest bass last year slow rolling a swimbait after its snowed Quote
swagkid300 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I fish whenever the water is soft. Generally, I don't see surface water temps colder than 35 degrees however. The coldest surface water temp where I've actually caught a bass was 38. This is from the bank. Surface water temp was about 37/38 when this shot was taken in January... u are 1 crazy dude Quote
Zach Dunham Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 If the water is not frozen I am fishing. I will be fishing the first weekend day that the ice is gone (hopefully this coming weekend). Quote
VAHunter Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 From shore I fish as long as the water is not frozen. However, myself and two friends have been known to launch the boat in ice and slow motor to our area. Once there, we make a straight, slow run to break the ice, then turn the boat and go back through the same area, only this time with the bow riding high so we throw as big a wake as possible. We do this a few times, then give things about 10 minutes to settle down and commence fishing. It surprises people how many fish we have caught with this method. Of course, it really only works well with ice less than 1". Quote
