nboucher Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Radical temperature drop in New England overnight. Air temp was 43 degrees when I hit my local pond at 11 this morning. Water temp: 48 degrees. Wind: 10 mph Didn't have high hopes, but the sun was out and I had the day off from work. It took awhile: tried a jig, an X-rap, then a lighter jig without success. Finally tied on my old reliable blue shad DT-6 cranked with pauses and picked up a nice little 1lb, 12 oz LMB. Then it was time to go home. We're supposed to get another warm up next week, but I'll be at work. Season's not over yet. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Great news Norman. You've rekindled my hopes for tommorrow! Quote
nboucher Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 Good luck! Gonna be brutal out there. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Ahhhhh, no worries, we New Englanders are hearty folks. Plus, I'll have a nice venison stew simmering at the house when I get back. Quote
Yakfish Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Yep, real cold spell has set in here in NH. Took advantage of the 68* we had the other day and managed one LM on a DT-6 as well. This guy was 1.5lb. The only other bites were a couple of small perch and a really ticked off pickerel. Quote
Murray Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 47* in montgomery, alabama...and im still wearing chacos Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 its getting pretty cold here too. 40* when i woke up this mourning. I plan on taking the canoe out this afternoon with my fishn buddies in search of a nice 3lb season-closer. and LBH, isn't venison stew the best? i swear its the best soup/stew i've ever had. I come from a hunting family and we have plenty of meat to go around during the winter. Venision Jerky and Stew are my faverite. Also wild boar is very good, we got one in texas last year. Quote
tallydude Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 It got down to about 75* here yesterday. Boy was I freezing. ;D Quote
