3 of us went out on 2 boats, all of us caught one fish the biggest was around 4lb.. how many of you would have fished in this kind of weather?

Looks like a great day to go fishing!!

I would! I go fishing any chance I get. Basically I'm always looking for my next opportunity to go fishing.

Looks nice and calm out and it's been warm enough the snow on the road has melted, I'd go no doubt. I pulled my boat through 7" of snow while it was still coming down fast and hard at 3am to go to the Classic at Grand last year, so yeah, I'd go Look close at the black part of my coat in this picture and you can see the white streaks that were big, fat snowflakes that were coming down much harder than the picture makes it look like they were.

The only thing that stops me from fishing is a frozen body of water. I have even fished when there was ice at many places on the surface but basically if there is open water I will fish it.

Fishing in snow is not too bad.  It's the wind blowing across the snow that makes me cold.

Fished all winter when I could.  Was awesome.

But then when your playing tag with "ER" visits you take what you get.

I have fished for trout in streams when it was so cold that the streams had frozen patches (for running water to solidify, it's COLD) but when it's that cold I generally confine my bass fishing to the bank. That way I can warm myself periodically if need be, especially if there is a biting wind.  It takes dedication to fish when the line looks like a bead necklace from the frozen water drops.

To fish or not to fish.... is that even a question?

Last week when i fished there were probably 25-30 boats on the little 1000 acre lake.. yesterday there were only 2 my boat and my buddies...

Ha a bunch of fair weather fishermen where i live..

if i didn't fish when it was cold i would only get to fish in july up here in MN... Ok maybe that a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much...

That's why you go in any conditions as long as it's safe. You can't catch them from the couch!
