Quick Turn to Truman

Headed out to search for some slabs on Saturday morning. The water is up even more for the last 2 trips in Jan. I was marking fish like a mad man in the channel. They weren't feisty enough to chase moving baits and the wind was blowing me all over. This made it difficult to sit still while they contemplated taking my baits. It wasn't an ideal weather day, I managed to get in and out without snow. COLDER THAN A WITCHES TITT out there. I put 3 keepers on the deck and then headed for the hills. LoL Anytime I can get the boat out, I don't care about #s too much, I just like being outside. Had I brought my Mr. Buddy, I might have stayed more than 3 hours.

Now that I think of it, I could have tied off to a tree and drifted out over the channel and sat still. Spot-lock was having fun with the ever swirling winds.

You got out - too cold for me to think about it,

I had to do it. I was disappointed that I put my boat in the garage. I wanted to get out before the single digits kicked in.

GFY as most of us were sitting on our butts in the warm dry recliner. At least you were ketchn something.

Back in my younger days I used to do that also Rooster. Then I appear to have gotten wiser...dang she's cold out there!
Good effort on your part though.

I'm 50 if that is your younger days. Dress for success! Had I remembered the Mr. Buddy, I would have been perfectly fine. Bait hooks, hands near the heat. Chill and repeat! [emoji1787]

Your tougher than me!:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy

Guys, I love cold weather. I moved here from South Dakota, where I ice fished all winter long. Some days in the shack, but most outside.

Rooster, 50 is a spring chicken, twenty years from now you'll need another layer of clothes. if I put on enough clothes now to stay warm I would make Michelin Man look anorectic. Fish on my friend and save me a few for spring.

You need to build a shack on a dock. Throw some crappie condos down there. Throw you a nice propane heater in there. Problem solved! [emoji16][emoji41][emoji41]

Dude! You got a bit of the cray cray. It was too cold for me to even uncover my boat.
Take sand and rock salt to the ramp next time just in case. I can't imagine there would be much help at the ramp if you got in a pickle.

The nice thing about this weather. No other boats at the ramp. LoL

your just a kid rooster so enjoy it while you can! glad someone is out there getting it done. Heard from guys who fish truman in winter that this is a great time to get into huge schools of them deep down along channel. But havn't had the gumption to SUIT up and go there.

I figured I was. I marked 100s of fish. Wind made it difficult to stay on top of them. I'm young to bring a longer rope next time.

I loved ice fishing. I used to ice fish all the time too before moving down here. I miss it but my wife doesn’t. She didn’t like me going out on the ice.

When I got orders here, I spoke with a few folks who said I was too far south to drag my gear with me. So I sold it all. I created new ice fishermen with it. :)
