Newstuffsucks81 90 #1 Posted January 24, 2022 We try to get out every Sunday during the season. Usually my dad, uncle, 2 cousins and all the youngsters. Today was just me and the little guy. The old jiffy model 30 was a blessing, about 12” of ice. Had 3 flags, hit and run. Cut a hole to jig in and got a nice 3lb bass! A couple shots from last week with the youngsters. That day it was -4 not one complaint Todaylast week my cousin with a nice bass last week 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,018 #4 Posted January 24, 2022 Taint the temperature - 'tis the wind. Some of the nicest days I can recall being outside were between -10 and +10 with no wind. Absolutely clear, sunshine, and the sky was a most amazing shade of blue. Of course, wearing the proper cold weather gear goes a long way to make days like that enjoyable.... 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,227 #9 Posted January 24, 2022 Like I said on the other cold water fishing post. I go fishig every week all year long. But my hands really get cold in the winter when I'm fishing around in the freezer for those trout and perch I caught last summer. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,833 #10 Posted January 24, 2022 Older I get Ed the more sense that makes! Sturgeon spearing coming up fast here and always looked forward to it. Now look forward to it being over as that means spring is just around the corner. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha brings back memories. Our first house, we had one bathroom and it was rough. At that time it was just me, the wife our oldest daughter and the dog. I started demolition on just before thanksgiving. During that time the wife and my daughter slept at her parents house. I’d shower at my neighbors and I had an empty joint compound bucket and the toilet seat I saved. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
