I got out yesterday for about 2.5 hours.

I had to break through thin ice at the ramp but it wasn't an issue. Water temps were a chilly 37-38 in the creek. The wind and rain died off for the 1st 2 hours and it was nice. It started raining pretty good around 4pm so I quit.

They were deep. I did just ok. Caught about a dozen that averaged around 9.75-10. No real nice ones unfortunately.

I'm a jig fisherman and haven't used a minnow in quite some time but my dad caught bigger and better fish last time out with minnows and I think I would have yesterday too with water temps so cold.
