I hate to wish my life away

BUT sheesh, I am ready for some better weather !!
I just looked and as of March 20, 2022 I had already caught 112 fish.
So far in 2023 I have caught exactly 1.
Granted I have only fished one time but man I am ready to go.

My bass boat is in the shop, and I'm dying to go fishing. Seems like every day I'm off the wind is howling with gusts to 30mph, so having my boat wouldn't matter much. Surely we'll get some good weather soon.

Today sure doesn't feel like the first day of spring.

 

[Billboy]

stoopid weather...

 

[TNGunsmoke]

Yep. I'm ready for some warmer weather with no wind/rain. Gotta get my yard in shape, and install some new seat pedestals on my boat, but I'm ready to get out fishing without freezing my rear end off. 2 fish so far this year at lunch one day when it was in the 70's. Threw them both back, 6 inch bass and a decent bluegill.

I went Saturday and the wind was brutal. Maybe this weekend will be better

It's going to be over 70 on Thursday.

It's either been too cold or windy. I can fish for trout in Arkansas when it's cold, but I haven't been able to go, thanks to everyday life. I'm jonesing to go fishing somewhere real soon.

You might be ready to go, but, Mother Nature has the last say.
My wife keeps track of weather here on her computer, and 6 years ago, we were in the 70's here in Southern Colorado. 31 at the moment.

one good thing, these cold temps prolongs the spawns. hoping the water temps stay below temp until tva starts raising the levels.

believe it or not, i actually saw some small fry saturday in some new water i will be fishing this year. dont know what they were though.

UPDATE: The 70's was last week. Today 6 years ago was 84!! 31 at present. No amount of money and lying politicians is going to change a damned thing.

It's fine, just turn on Spot Lock and bring 28 batteries with you.

This has been the longest "winter" I can remember. Just 5 months of dreadful weather.

 

[Chiflyguy]

2 smallmouth and 1 walleye and a gar this year.
New boat goes in this weekend.

Tell me about it. We fished a club tourney yesterday on KY Lake. It was brutal. 16 degree wind chill at blast off. About -20 to -30 when the boat was moving haha We stayed in the creeks to stay out of the wind. Only had one keeper until about 1:45. It had warmed up enough to get on the main lake. We caught a 4 pounder and a 8.25. in 30 minutes. weigh in was at 2:30 and my buddy caught the big one at 2:15. Won the tourney with 14.70 (three fish limit). We thought about going back out after the tourney but I still haven't thawed out.

Gentlemen.....hence the word "WINTER"!!
