Got out Wednesday morning, on the river about 10 a.m., air temp was about 40°, water temp was 44°, cloudy, wind probably 15+m.p.h. spitting rain. Lucky Craft 100 in Crack got these. Yes, it was as cold as it looks.....

Admire your fortitude. :mrgreen: I haven't gotten out this year yet. Caught a bug over Christmas that just won't let go.
 
Larry, sure hope you get out soon. That's too long a spell for you to not be going.

Actually, the more I winter fish, the better I like it. I kinda got some parts of it figured out.....maybe? :|
 
It really hasn't been that long, Sam. I went 4 times in December. I just haven't been in 2017 yet. Hope to get out one day next week.

I like winter fishing, too. Been fishing plastics on a drop shot lately, a new technique for me. Been doing fairly well.
 
:p Just thinking, we were out a few days ago on a river here in Pa., 22 degrees and about a 6 mile trip upriver at 28 mph, talk about COLD!
BEAUTIFUL SMALLMOUTHS! That 20 1/4 is a gorgeous fish, great color and markings.
