I wouldn't blame you at all, I'd rather have it just a little warmer as well.

Prayers ole buddy,hope you feel better

I find the old saying fair weather fisherman gets more appropriate every year, bad thing is hunting is headed there also, that's 1 reason I love our long hunting season. hope you get to feeling better quickly,

 

[RUGER]

I do it but don't like it.
Hope you feel better soon!

 

[Chiflyguy]

Heading out to Norris in a few.
38 degrees.
My record down here is goin out at 21 degrees
I predict a nice nap this afternoon in my recliner.
Can't let all the young guys have the fun.

 

[mike243]

I'm 5 miles from Big Ridge park, showing 37 brrrr, good luck

 

[Iglow]

It was nasty yesterday, I was on the water from about 8:45 AM till 4:30 PM. Cold north wind and drizzling.

 

[mike243]

35 and about a 4-6mph wind out of the nwest

Definitely a fair weather fisherman anymore and getting that way with hunting too.

And im still

Salute that you are still out there trying.

 

[UCStandSitter]

Back when I would fish in cold I'd bundle up and then wear my rain gear on top to keep the wind out. Doesn't help the fingers much but the rest would stay decent

 

[FLTENNHUNTER1]

I don't mind the cold I hate fishing 6-8 hours and barely getting any bites.

 

[gasman]

Hope you feel better soon. I didn't get to fish this weekend but plan on taking off Thursday and taking my dad. Weather is supposed to be decent then.

 

[CATCHDAWG]

I'm with Redblood, if it's not enjoyable I'm not doing it. Just doesn't make good sense. When it comes to fishing or hunting, I still love it but I'm just not that mad at them anymore.

 

[Sako]

I am the same way... the cold has really started to get to me over the last few years.

 

[Wooden Arrow]

sauger, walleye. and crappie all seem to like nasty weather, so i deal with it. the fish make it worthwhile, watching them swim in melted butter...

 

[woodyard]

Ruger and i have been out there after trout when it was raining like the cow on the flat rock and it was in the low forties and the water temp was in the forties and he was shaking like a leaf in a whirlwind. He was wet and cold. I finally relented and gave up and took him in to the cabin. Another time we were out there with snow on the ground and air temps in low thirties chasing crappie. Was with another buddy one time when temp was in the teens and we had to actually quit and run to town to buy him more clothes and get back after them.
We are dedicated or insane one.

It's always much colder on the water. 40 or above I'm ok but anything below that isn't much fun especially if the wind is blowing. It's my hands that get me. I can't fish with gloves on. Been out there many times when I had to dip the rod in the water to thaw the eyes when the line freezes and covers my hand and the reel with shaved ice.
