Winter Sucks.

wargoth · 12-22-07, 03:04 AM

I am so itching to be fishing, but damn near everything but Erie is frozen up here. It rather sucks. I did manage to catch a few Steelhead this fall though.

WallStreetAmigo · 12-22-07, 03:34 AM

Everything was frozen here a month and a half ago.......the long winter lull definitely sucks. Things won't defrost around here until mid to late april.

pig n jig · 12-22-07, 04:11 AM

The winter definately sucks, until there is enough ice to fish.

BigBassin144 · 12-22-07, 11:31 AM

I agree. Our ice was 3" last time we checked, but now, it's supposed to be 50 degrees today and it's rained last week.

I know what yall mean. All this ice in my glass is watering down my scotch. Making it hard for me to concentrate on all the bass in the 65 degree weather.

chubs · 12-22-07, 11:50 PM

Wtl that isnt right 65 degrees,Scotch dont rub it in its 2 above and 14inches of ice on the lake and my boat is blocked in by 10 inches of snow and its not Christmas yet!

Basscrazie · 12-23-07, 11:21 AM

Yesterday was 75 and today will be in the 50's and sunny..I think this is cold.I don't know how ya'll do it.Stay warm and happy holidays!

Bender · 12-23-07, 12:15 PM

This is the worst weather. I woke up at 3:30 A.M. to rain and temps just above freezing. Not enough ice to walk on and not much snow left on the ground. I don't like being cooped up like this inside, but there is nothing to do outdoors in this weather. I wish I had the $$$ to come down south for a while.

pig n jig · 12-23-07, 03:04 PM

Bender, It has been raining here all day as well.It really knocked the snow level down from what it was.

I hope to get out and throw a few lures from shore tomorrow to try out new line and what have you.

Going down south doesn't seem like a bad idea. We just don't have the time. We would stay with cousins in Alabama, and eat good ole southern food and get fattened up for ice fishing back home...

Bob Smith · 12-23-07, 09:44 PM

Well I'm going back over to Lake Guntersville tomorrow. Weather is supposed to be 54 and less than 5mph wind, water temps in the low 50s. Sure hope Mr. and Mrs. Bass are hungry!

wargoth · 12-24-07, 12:33 AM

I really hate all you southern folk right about now... But then again, our walleye fishing beats the hell out of yours.

I am thinking of going x-mas day,so i gotta get my family thing done this evening.

BigBassin144 · 12-24-07, 11:51 AM

HA! 33 is cold to you guys. It was 50 here two days ago, then yesterday, the 25-40 MPH winds dropped the temp to low 20's. Thw ind has died down significantly over night. it's only 10-15 mph now. But yesterday, it was so windy there were waves on the ice!!

fishing man · 12-24-07, 02:00 PM

i know winter sucks i have been itching to go out and fish.

luckely the ponds i fish dont have ice on them anymore, im thinkin of goin but dont know how to fish in the winter, can anyone tell me some lures and places to fish?

Bender · 12-25-07, 09:11 AM

We have ice here again finally, going fishing this morning!

pig n jig · 12-25-07, 09:19 AM

Got the boat all hooked up and heading out at 10:00.It's a balmy 34 degrees here.

texasbasser · 12-25-07, 11:25 AM

Its not that bad down here... right now its around 40, but clear and sunny.

Bob Smith · 12-25-07, 12:27 PM

Merry Christmas to all, From north Georgia, where we are finally geting some much needed rain! It was 55 yesterday and beautiful partly cloudy and a light breeze. We fished Guntersville over in Alabama with considerable cooperation out of the LMB (and one huge drum/gaspergoo!). We woke to sleet and cold rain this morning with the radar showing a bunch more rain streaming in and lots more in the forecast all the way up to New Year's Eve.

WallStreetAmigo · 12-25-07, 02:07 PM

About 5 degrees F here right now..........yes, that is not a typo....LOL

Wags · 12-25-07, 02:52 PM

I don't envy you WSA....and I appreciate you making our Michigan weather seem tropical by comparison. To echo the thread title.....winter DOES suck!!!I have resorted to playing a Bass fishing game I downloaded to puter. Pretty sad,...48 years old and playing a game on the puter to satisfy my "jones" <sigh> Oh well,.....my wife hopes that I may grow up some day...not likely though.

WTL · 12-25-07, 03:05 PM

Bob, G'ville is a big fish lake in every respect. Big largemouth, big drum, big carp, big gar, big catfish, big crappie, big bream...even when they rarely are caught big smallmouth. It just produces big fish.

brushhog · 12-25-07, 03:17 PM

The Jr. Hogs got a Wii with a fishing game from Santa, that's how we pass the time here in CNY....
