1st fish in 30 deg water

[Bird]

Been fishing a long time and not once have I caught a bass in 30* water.

Today I caught 2 throwing a Zoom speed craw on a 3/8 Shakyhead..... they were cold and didn't fight much, well they weren't big either. 🌝

It's a catch!  Good job.

Nice fish! I’m no scientist but water turns into ice at 32……

That was my first thought too. Can’t be 30 degrees. It would be ice.

Excellent. That waters that cold from those big fans behind you.

Love the speed craw, I need to be chucking it. Found a bag of them in my boat recently

My bad, 1st fish I've ever caught with water temps below 40......it was actually 38*.

Should have said 1st fish with water temps in the 30's 😃

Yes, I misquoted, 

Water temp was 38*.

Should have said 30's instead of 30.

Dang bird, I thought maybe you used your chainsaw to cut some holes in the ice to go fishin! 
 

i don’t see water below 40 often but we definitely had some shallow coves freeze over this year. Main channel stayed around 45

Nevermind these guys Bird!   I've come to realize you make a mistake around here, you're payin' for it!   😁

I keep trying to take the temp of the water in Maine, but I can't insert the thermometer. What am I doing wrong?

I'm here for this obligatory comment. 🤣

Im just a smarty pants and I can’t help it.

 

Seems like I’ve only caught one or two bass in water below 40 degrees. I have caught some stocked trout in icy water but they don’t mind as much

Things happening on the River!

All year, all temps.
