Ive swam in 65 degree water and it felt chilly. I’ve fallen into 47 degree water and it felt even more chilly. Cold is up to the eye of the beholder , seals probably think any liquid is warm

Fishing can be done without spot lock. My god you guys act like you don't know how to fish without it. How did anyone catch a fish in the history of bass fishing without it?
The same way we ran boats wide open throttle beofre GPS and electronic maps

I tie my spot locker to the end of a rope

Eastern time zone for the win
conversely, when we camped on an island in Lake superior this summer, we went to watch the sunset every night and it took till like 10:45 PM to see it. Granted, I don’t think we ever figured out which time zone we were on, I think it was Eastern, but the ferry operated on central time

Far as someone else in the boat - if you wanna watch, that's your kink...I don't really care.

Went out this morning and got two crappie, came home for breakfast mid morning and my wife made a French ham and cheese croissant. Went back out fishing around 2 and fished offshore, only one nibble. Then I Hit the banks with a green pumpkin finesse worm and got 7 smb and 1 lmb from 4-5:30. Largest was around 17”, one was super skinny and another fought way harder than it should have for its size. Fun day

After waiting all day on my wife to get home, we went and got a Christmas tree. I had from 5-6 pm to fish after we set it up. I drove directly to my offshore SMb grounds and started fishing. Not much luck so I sat down at the console just letting the boat drift along the edge of a drop off and watched the graph to see if I was close enough. A crappie must have gotten lost and ended up out there, I got a funny picture of the screen after I caught it . You can see where I pulled it straight up off the bottom. No skunk and a pretty evening

One of the best things I heard from yesterday was that pat forde got hit with pepper spray at the big game in Columbus, that’s simply compelling and rich

Where do I start?! Haha. I got a lot of stuff to do but I’d rather put it off and go fishing or chop wood
got drywall to finish in the basement, new toilet/tile/vanity to do in a bathroom, new deck to build, probably a few more I’m forgetting

If you would have told me Nebraska makes a bowl, beats Colorado and Wisconsin...I would have taken that. So I need to shut my yapper and stop complaining.
Now I'm just rooting for chaos.
What I really want see is southern / SEC teams travel north for playoff games ; )
It was 22 degrees here this morning

No need to be nervous, playoffs is the last place we want to be, this team is just bad. I sat row 1 last week and it was embarrassing

Strangely, we had 2 feet of snow on March 13, 1993 where I grew up in Maryville. They got 5 feet on mount leconte the same day

Even for this place, this is impressive.
Something just over 2 feet so far.
It's still snowing hard 2-3 inches an hour at times.
Latest forecast predicts it will stop on . . . .
wait for it . . . . . . . TUESDAY !
We're going to be buried like the old days.

Wow!!!! Pretty wild

At my pond, 12" bass are rare, maybe 2% of my catch. If you ever come fish it, you'll have to settle for 15 and 16-inchers in your skillet.
Wouldn’t that be nice!

@gimruis, I wouldn’t necessarily call coyotes native to the eastern US. They hadn’t made it across the Mississippi River until the 70s and early 80s . Their native range is Mexico and the American southwest

We don't have size limits or slots on bass here - you can keep 10" or 20"....doesn't matter according to the rules.
We're just limited to 6 total in possession - which is livewell PLUS freezer...if you got 3 at home in the freezer, you're limited to 3 keepers on your outing.
Regulations specific for each body of water. I would love to eat 12” bass but it’s illegal in almost every reservoir

we got plenty of coyotes and foxes, the foxes will live underneath the stairs going into your front door. Red ones and grey ones. I’ve caught several of them on accident

That's exactly why you should be keeping largemouth bass not my beloved small mouths.
I rarely get a keeper LM, I’d starve! 😂
they have to be 14” or 15” depending on where you’re at
(thank god for white bass)

Pee like a 2 time classic champ

Coywolf?
I forgot my wife had a cat killed by coyotes way back in the day. Cats are definitely much more in their wheelhouse, but domestic dogs will also kill cats

On dale hollow and similar highland reservoirs, open water fish chasing shad miles and miles is the pattern and it’s all year long
