I don’t like the weather we’re having .
Cloudy mid 40’s and windy .
I can handle colder temperatures with sun and light breezes , but not this .
And the ten day forecast doesn’t show a lot of improvement.
With all this extra time on my hands , it can get expensive . Especially with the sales coming up . :)
They are running all kind of sales to part a fella from his money
I am not a fan of windy days !
It was unpleasant trying to ketch crappie today here , will try again tomorrow maybe ....not fun even if they do bite ....:Rofl
I can even take the lower temps and elephant sky, but somebody has GOT to turn the fan down or I can’t go anywhere. My ramps are still closed so I’ve been chasing some clay targets. Good bunch of folks and it sure beats sitting around..
We have snow on the ground tonight in SE Ohio.
We don’t see much snow around here. Maybe once a year and it’s usually gone in a couple of days .Quote:

I like the snow especially during deer season but the ice not so much
I got to fish for thirty minutes today while my wife was getting her hair done.
Because of other family obligations this was my only chance and I take whatever I can get
Sunny , a little windy , gusts to 16mph according to weather app , about 1 1/2 hours before sunset . So the temps were beginning to drop .
I did get to try out a rod ii haven’t fished in awhile, so something was accomplished.
I was using a 6’6” St Croix Premier Light fast rod paired with a Daiwa Legalis LT 2000s .
I fished a 1/16 trout magnet with a Bobby Garland Itty Bitty swim’R and was surprised at the distance I was able to get , even with the wind . I got one tap in the 15 minutes I fished it .
Switched to a 2.5g silver spoon and while fishing the boat ramp hooked into what felt like a nice fish .
I had it on for at least 30 seconds playing it , not trying to rush it and all of a sudden the hook pulled loose. :( .
About three weeks ago , the exact same thing happened at the same location , on the same lure .
The spoon has a size 8 Gamakatsu Siwash single hook . The hook looks plenty big enough for most fish . The gap is larger than most size 8 hooks I have .
I’m thinking both times , the fish was only skin hooked . It most likely swiped at the spoon and the hook did its job , but not deep enough to hold .
It was great to get out and I enjoyed fishing with the longer rod . Perfect for swimming a jig or throwing spoons .
I hear ya. I don’t like it either. Although I can’t fish as I’m too busy with the house but if I wasn’t it’s far too cold for me. Just seems we wake up one day and we no longer will deal with cold weather…..LOL

Take a Lookie Lou at the Midwest this week! Those guys are really getting hammered. If I lived up there I definitely would be a snowbird!

Bob, I’ve been looking at the lake effect dumping all over up north. God Bless em all and I hope they were prepared. I said a prayer of thanks that I don’t run the road anymore as I’m sure that being a senior man and more experienced that they would have sent me right into the middle of it. Miserable conditions to drive in. I’d much rather fish a short bit and run back to the heater these days.
