Super User Sam Posted January 12, 2016 Super User Posted January 12, 2016 Scratch Virginia off your list. Getting cold out there! Try Texas, Florida and Louisiana. Head to New Orleans for Mardi Gras and do some great fresh and saltwater fishing. 2 Quote
Hurricane Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Fished all the way into December here in Buffalo. .. Now we have a foot of snow and the ice rink is up in the backyard. .. Needless to say, I miss fishing... 1 Quote
kcdinkerz Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Look for power plant lakes in states near you 4 Quote
JustinU1X Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Florida, Texas, and Alabama. Or you can come over here to Wisconsin, 70 and sunny. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 12, 2016 Global Moderator Posted January 12, 2016 Indiana has some good powerplant lakes I believe. That's probably the only chance you'll have to see open water until you get far enough south that you might as well drive to Texas or Florida. There's some open water here in KS but driving several hours to maybe see open water and having the even slimmer chance of catching a fish from it isn't really worth it IMO. There's powerpant lakes here too, but again, might as well just go all the way to Texas at that point. 1 Quote
Ohio Archer Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Ohio is freezing over. Done till the thaw comes around...hopefully sooner rather than later. Quote

Super User the reel ess Posted January 12, 2016 Super User Posted January 12, 2016 Cold in SC, by SC standards anyway. One of the things on my bucket list is to go ice fishing in MN. 1 Quote
