fish E.Fork today 8:30 till 2:30... fished the lower end only today... water temp 39.7... color lite stain...
all coves iced over in the back 1/2... no ice on main lake lower end... mix bag of blacks & whites 100+...
good bag of fish... all on 1/16oz jigs... 8 to 12 feet of water...
Nice report. It was a nice day to be out. I wish I would have had the time...
C-max your crazy!!!! Nice day???? It was colder than cave man boogers out!!!!! Me and a buddy decided to go back to the basics today and fish the aberdeen discharge. Had a freakin blast catchin hybrids. we prolly caught 50 or so of them but they were all under a pound. The wind was howling past us and we like to froze to death.
Larrys just a phenomenon unexplainable....... He don't feel cold. The day I fished with him he never shivered once. I was shivering so bad I couldnt read his graph.... guess Im a puddy! LOL
Nice report Larry. But I must agree - its too cold out there White Flag Icon
Hi All!
Its amazing I think he caught more today than i did all last summer over at Brookville. Awesome fishing Mr. Yates!
Stay safe all.
Hey Larry,
Good report,:HandsClapping but these fellows need to update their man card,:Rofl
we have fished just practicing :fish in worse weather many times.
Did you do any good around the horseshoe?:dono
I may get down that way soon, been catching some at CC, but no 100 + days since last spring,:yikes
Wish spring would come soon, can't wait!:highfive
See you on the water.
It wasn't that bad...I was outside most of the day, just not fishing.Quote:

I guess if you live long enough you just become immune to the cold and wind. Gives me somthing to look forward to. I might be able to grow a beard by then as well.
^^^^^^^^^^ Oh snap!!!!!! I think this was an old ppl joke fellas!!! LOL
Its amazing I have some of the warmest and nicest clothes money can buy but I cannot figure out a way to keep my feet and hands from getting cold.......... I cannot fish with gloves on so thats not an option.... As for my feet, has anyone found one specific pair of winter boots that were just waaaay warmer than others you have tried???
hahaha, now you take that back!!! LOLQuote:

On the hands I use either light weight gloves designed for bowhunting or winter golf gloves. Both are thin and have reasonably good feel.
The boots, for the VERY cold days we buy the mickey boots..... U.S. G.I. Extreme Cold Temperature Boots, Used - $29.95 :: Colemans Military Surplus LLC - Your one-stop US and European Army/Navy surplus store with products for hunting, camping, emergency preparedness, and survival gear
$29.95 B/S does anyone have these and think they work???Quote:

Mine dont sweat, i just dont wear thick socks with them... they allow your feet to breath unlike most other boots... they are a pain in the @ss if your walking alot because they are bulky.... These are they only kind of boots we have worn when it gets below 10* and we are working outside, riding 4 wheelers, sledding, ect... have used them for 18+ years or so that i can remember!
I wear rubber boots all the time while hunting. I prefer them to leather.
Rocky boots are tuff to beat when things go ice:biggrin
I have a pair of Rocky Cornstalkers and I had a pair of the rocky Rubber boots, both were 1200 grain. I liked the rubber ones better.Quote:

Normally, I just use the 400 grain rubber boots for fishing. Wool socks are a big help.
Never had a pair of cornstalkers that were 1200 grain but the snowstalkers rubber boots have been great over the years. I really like the bearclaws.Quote:

Thanks for sharing

I just looked at mine, you are correct the Cornstalkers are 1000 grain.(I'm over 60, my memory sucks). However, I pretty much gave up on Rocky boots. The last 2 pair I had didn't seem to hold up very well. I only hunt in rubber coated boots and the last pair may have made it 4 or 5 years. Since I only used them for hunting thats not much use.Quote:

Either way fishing isn't like hunting and being able to move around a bit helps keep the feet from freezing. Those little toe warmers are a big plus too.
When I'm bowhunting rubber boots are the ticket for scent control going to and from stand. Ice fishing and other cold water fishing trips I perfer snowstalkers or bearclaws for comfort and warmth, like you stated though being able to move around helps out when fishing vs the tree stand hunt when sometimes no boots work in late seasonWhite Flag IconQuote:
