Winter Bassin

rodnreel · 12-21-09, 11:13 AM

I've been going insane sitting around not being able to fish the past couple of weeks and decided to brave the weather and try my luck Saturday. It was about 27-29 degrees and snowing. I managed to catch 2 small frys. One came on a Strike King series 3 crankbait and the other came on a LC pointer. I was rigged up with 8 lb. P-Line CX Premium line on a Revo Premier. I was using a 6' medium power 2 piece rod that I've had since the beginning of time. This was probably one of the funnest fishing outings I've ever had. I was accompanied by my brother so during the lulls of not catching fish we took advantage of the snow and had a good old fashioned snowball fight! Here's pics of the 2 bass:

Very nice!....Especially hitting two of em.

That hoodie gave you confidence

That's my favorite fishin hoodie. Only time I don't where it is when it's too hot in the summertime. Other than that, if you see me out fishing I'll have it on. It has definitely turned into a confidence booster. Now if I could only find a lure that does the same...

LOL...I would classify as semi-open. The pond I was fishing wasn't completely frozen over yet, but a few spots were solid. Like the spot I decided to throw my second catch back into. THUD

! That fish smacked solid ice and I had to use my rod handle to break it up so he could get back into the water. Woops. Both catches were hauled up through a pretty good layer of slush and snow so I'd say it will be completely frozen over in a week or 2.

Thats a nice mid winter treat for sure. Everything here is frozen over solid. But if we get a few freak warm days I hope to get oout and snag a few myself. Way to go rnr!
