Ok I’m over winter

I could handle the cold but the cold plus the wind is just brutal as I get older.
I'm ready to FISH!!!!

Once New Years passes, give me April.

I hate summer…. Y'all need to put on more clothes

Once deer and duck seasons are over, I'll be ready to fish, but it'll be too cold for at least another month after we finish picking up decoys, moving blinds, and then me cleaning all my hunting gear out of my truck(which will make my wife happy. Don't know why it being in my truck from September until February bothers her so much.)

I just wish they could even out the dam schedules. One day they are pulling 23K CFS and the water is up in the trees, the next day they are pulling 3k and its one giant beach. The next day they are back up near 18K. Typically good fishing is with 1-2 generators pulling 6-12K.

I heard that!
There's icy mix in the forecast for Friday in my area.

I've still got some small game/predator hunting to do as well as some trapping. But yeah, I'm ready to hit some water, especially some mountain trout streams!

Think I've got one more duck hunt left. After that I'll still enjoy a cool morning (especially for turkey season opener), but also highs in the 60s-70s.

Now's the time to not be wimpy and fish! Me and a friend got these last Wednesday bundled up in 4 layers. 2 limits

Nice fish shopson....I would love to put the knife to a mess of crappie. Ruger I feel the same as you about the wind and the cold. It is just plain hard for me to deal with the wind anymore unless its at least 60°.

16 this morning. Cancelled my fishing trip. Im just not that mad at a fish to be breaking ice out of my guides.

ain't but a thing if you're dedicated LOL!

The day after deer season I'm ready for fishing weather. Which by my definition is warm.

I'm definitely ready for spring. Been spending the past few weeks organizing tackle, working on the boat, etc.

I've still been fishing a little, but it's been slow.

Last time I went was January 8th.
Caught several but that was the last day that the weather has been anywhere near tolerable.
Had snow on the ramp when we put in but it was gone by the time we left.

If you have to fish when its super cold, keep a can of Pam spray in tackle box . Ice won't stick in guides

Sometimes you just gotta go!

I am also ready for spring, but I am also grateful for any day in any month that the Good Lord gives me. As one ages, you realize just how precious everyday on this earth can be.
