z7master167 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 3 of us went out on 2 boats, all of us caught one fish the biggest was around 4lb.. how many of you would have fished in this kind of weather? Quote
Salamander12 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I would! I go fishing any chance I get. Basically I'm always looking for my next opportunity to go fishing. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 31, 2014 Global Moderator Posted March 31, 2014 Looks nice and calm out and it's been warm enough the snow on the road has melted, I'd go no doubt. I pulled my boat through 7" of snow while it was still coming down fast and hard at 3am to go to the Classic at Grand last year, so yeah, I'd go Look close at the black part of my coat in this picture and you can see the white streaks that were big, fat snowflakes that were coming down much harder than the picture makes it look like they were. 1 Quote
tommiller76 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 The only thing that stops me from fishing is a frozen body of water. I have even fished when there was ice at many places on the surface but basically if there is open water I will fish it. 2 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted March 31, 2014 Super User Posted March 31, 2014 Fishing in snow is not too bad. It's the wind blowing across the snow that makes me cold. Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted March 31, 2014 Super User Posted March 31, 2014 Fished all winter when I could. Was awesome. But then when your playing tag with "ER" visits you take what you get. Quote
edfitzvb Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I have fished for trout in streams when it was so cold that the streams had frozen patches (for running water to solidify, it's COLD) but when it's that cold I generally confine my bass fishing to the bank. That way I can warm myself periodically if need be, especially if there is a biting wind. It takes dedication to fish when the line looks like a bead necklace from the frozen water drops. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted March 31, 2014 Super User Posted March 31, 2014 To fish or not to fish.... is that even a question? Quote
z7master167 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Last week when i fished there were probably 25-30 boats on the little 1000 acre lake.. yesterday there were only 2 my boat and my buddies... Ha a bunch of fair weather fishermen where i live.. Quote
mjseverson24 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 if i didn't fish when it was cold i would only get to fish in july up here in MN... Ok maybe that a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much... Mitch Quote
