Stupid snow. We were supposed to go ice fishing yesterday morning, but it had snowed almost all of friday, and then all night and it snowed almost all day yesterday too. needless to say, we couldn't make it ice fishing. It finally stopped sometime last night, but this morning I woke up to what at first glaced look like VERY heavy snowfall. But it wasn't it's fog. Yeah, fog. It's 7 degress outside and foggy. It's gotten better, but I still can't see over 200 yards.

BB, how much snow did you get? We got abut 7" yesterday. All while at the show and made my normal hour drive turn into two hours. Only about 10 cars off the road (west bound). Cheer up, only 3 1/2 more months!

MIBasser,...did you go to Ultimate Fishing show in Novi?? How is that? never been Are the demonstrations any good? Let me know if it's worth my while... I'm an hour away on a good day, with all this snow, I probably won't go till next year though since it ends today.

It has been the wind here.I almost got blown out of the boat friday..It was in the high 70's though.If any of you guys get cabin fever to bad i got an extra room and there is lots of good lakes around here.Maybe a mini vacation and warm up.I am always looking for people to fish..Just a thought.

Here in Indiana , the national weather service said after this next week , the rest of the winter will be mild for us...

bamabassman · 01-11-09, 11:53 AM

lows in da teens and highs in the LOW 40's here. rain ,rain, rain. should make for a fantastic spring though.

Fishnngolfn · 01-11-09, 03:22 PM

Here in Alabaster, just south of Birmingham, we have had lots of rain as bamabassman has stated. It has been pretty cold in the mornings but gets up to 40 to 60 by the afternoon. I was hoping to try out the new trolling motor yesterday but it rained all day. I may try this afternoon.

What's the difference if ice is falling from the sky or you're sitting on it????

Fishing Fanatic · 01-11-09, 06:53 PM

The local reservoir we'd fish at won't have the stone driveway plowed and my dad's little 2001 f150 sport would get stuck. Other than that, nothing.

Ice fishing is best on a calm day, no wind and maybe some sun if you're lucky. The problem about snow is that it lands on what ever skin you have exposed and melts, leaving you wet. Its bad enough keeping you hands warm n dry after you handle fish caught and putting on new bait.
If you have a shelter or can turn your back to the snow it helps, but lots of times you just can't hide from it.

quenston · 01-11-09, 09:17 PM

Here in the in our neck of the woods it is mid 70's to low 80's one day and then the low 30's the next I am ready for spring! Dont have to worry about ice fishing here unless it is in a pond the lake hardly ever freezes.

Christopherkeene9 · 01-11-09, 11:42 PM

Ahh it was probably about 78* here today! Shorts, short sleeves, and flip flops!!!

Rodman_Rob · 01-11-09, 11:52 PM
