Guest the_muddy_man Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Hey Fellas I don't know about you now that Christmas is over I wish spring would get here already There ain't nothing better than sittin in a boat all day with your best friend ,talking smack all day and fishing Thank God the BPS and Cabelas catalogs got here and the Fork trip is on the horizion THIS WINTER THING ain't what it's cracked up to be Quote
Super User Raul Posted January 15, 2007 Super User Posted January 15, 2007 Can't wait for the spring Me neither Muddy, it 's the kick I get out of fishing in 110-120° under the blazing sun, with weather this cold ( 65-80° ) I don 't feel comfortable at all. ;D Quote

Super User Raul Posted January 15, 2007 Super User Posted January 15, 2007 Raul MAY A GOAT WITH DIPTHERIA LEAVE SOMETHING ON YOUR LAWN TONIGHT No way Jos é, you got any idea how fast the dang grass grows with manure down here ? ;D It 's vacation time, instead of having to mow the lawn twice a week during this time I only mow it once every tow weeks.

Guest the_muddy_man Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Hey Raul; are you coming up to the Fork in March? Quote
Super User Raul Posted January 15, 2007 Super User Posted January 15, 2007 I wish I could but I can 't Muddy, the BaitMonkey barely left me with enough money for fishing the local lakes with all the stuff he purchased during the Xmas season. :-? Quote
RottManK9 Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 It's been sleeting and snowing here all weekend, This Sucks!!! I can't wait for it to warm up. :-[ Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Agreed Muddy, it cant get here fast enough. I have alot of testing to do on stuff I have made, let alone just wanting to work outside on the house. This bitter cold is killing me. I'm moving south. well I wish I was Quote
Guest Bountiful_Waters Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I can't wait either, that's why I am going to Comedero in two weeks. Quote
Minuteman Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Spring? I'm still waiting for winter to get here. Looks like it will finally come to PA in the next day or so and stay for the rest of the month. Just realized I got my Jeep almost a 1 year and 1/2 ago and haven't even driven it in the snow yet.

Super User J._Bricker Posted January 15, 2007 Super User Posted January 15, 2007 Muddy- Don't dispare, the fish are still there. Yesterday (the 14th), took the boat out and I did manage one fish on a rip bait in Disco, with 41 degree water temps. But, I did find 1/4" ice at the back of one slough. Just not what we're used to, because it beats the hell out of drilling a hole in the ice to get at 'em. FYI, 9.29 anchored a 22.03 sack in a touney held on the Jan. 3rd. Only folks with a need of sunscreen are Raul and our friend in the Southern Hemisphere. Hook sets are free, JB Quote
Shad_Master Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Not intending to hijack the post, but just taking it in a little different direction -- Does anyone have a formula for calculating the amount of moisture in snow? We had about 3" - 4" here over the week-end. I have heard 6" of snow = 1" of rain -- does that sound right? Quote
Guest the_muddy_man Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Try this one inch of snow = one inch of misery Quote
Super User J._Bricker Posted January 15, 2007 Super User Posted January 15, 2007 Shad man- Couldn't care less what the water content is, my water rate will go up anyway. Good news, I can be fishing on the Delta in 30 minutes, or skiing on powder up in Tahoe in 3.5 hours........ Quote
Cigarlover 1 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I agree 100 million percent. My cabin fever is at an all time high right now. Although I have to say we've gotten off pretty easy this winter in NE. I was catchin fish in Nov and Dec and was just out a wk ago with a t shirt on. I feel you're pain though. Still not the same as gettin out on the water at 6a and staying out all day with perfect temps. Quote
rocknfish9001 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 well for x-mas, i got a couple of big, 120+ page binder like books that contain topo maps, descriptions, stockings, and census records of about a hundred lakes in the area and surrounding counties!!!! They all sound so good right now. Off the top of my mind, lakes that i need to hit this upcoming season are north lake south lake big bass lake magician lake round lake eagle lake skegmog lake burt lake green lake barron lake paw paw lake cadillac lake rose lake thunder lake pine lake (state record was caught here) gun lake garver lake lime lake stone lake N and S scott lake diamond lake juno lake shoot, ive got a lot of water to cover, thats not even all of them i am serious about hitting up/ Quote
Valascus Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I was done with winter time before it even started. I HATE winter...HATE it. But I can't move any further south. My wife just can't deal with the heat. She gets uncomfortable once it gets into the 80's. It's not like she just doesn't like the heat...she really just can't take it...she gets sick and passes out. She loves this time of year...oh yeah...did I mention I HATE WINTER!!! Quote
eastkybass Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Don't care if it is 10 degrees I have'nt been since Oct and I can't take it anymore I am going this weekend aslong as it doesn't snow on me Quote
NEBassMan Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 ugh, i'm right there with all you guys. we have 6 inches of snow on the ground right now with highs getting into the middle teens. buddy and i are going to head to the pond this weekend to see if it's thick enough to ice fish. god i hope so. i need to get a line wet. Jason Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 16, 2007 Super User Posted January 16, 2007 The little windows of nice weather are a welcome part of winter this year, but you are right...I cant wait for spring either Quote
Bass Smacker Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can't wait I'm going nuts. Most winters I can go out and fish a little. Not this one we are having temps in the low 20s highs in the low 50s and water temps around 40-45* nothings biting not even blue gills for the first time Ive seen theres ice on the ca delta most of the back sloughs i fish have a 1/8" of ice on them I'm sure it melts off in the afternoon. but dang ice in the delta who d thunk?

llPa1nll Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 From Windham, New Hampshire (8:56a Jan 17 07) temp(4.8 F / -15.1 C) cond(Clear) wind(ESE at 0.0 mph / 0.0 km/h) humidity(75%) dewpoint(-1 F / -19 C) Today: Sunny. Highs in the mid teens. Northwest winds 10 to 20 mph. Wind chill values as low as 17 below this morning. I am hoping for an early Birthday present that I get to go out and fish before my Birthday, my Birthday is in late March. On a darker note, we got 1/2 in of freezing rain and we had no power for 1 day, and it snowed last night... Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Bah, this bites. Today we had a dose of reality. High for this afternoon at the house was 19*. Wasn't it just last week we were in the 40's....Ah, to make matter worse, my *** soft plastics just came in the mail. I've already read the BPS catalog from front to back 3 times. I'm still trying to find a hobby that involves frigid temps and snow, it's just that all my hobbies are outdoor spring / summer type stuff! Why did I ever move back to New England??? :'( Quote
