Woot woot.....smashed 14 Smallies in 16 degree weather in 2.5 hours. So cold my guides kept freezing up. Kept getting back lash when I cast and the guide freezes up lol. Then I learned a new trick. Dipped my rod in the water to melt the ice away from the guides for a few seconds and then cast away. I was just under handing cast since I was using live bait. Started off slow but when I found the sweet spot I couldn't hook my minnows fast enough to keep catching them. A few 2's with the rest 3lbers with the biggest at 3lb 10oz. Hope everyone's 2015 is great too.

 

Wow nice haul!! That's a nice smallie!! And that's some cooollllddd weather. I started the year out right as well. Granted my weather wasn't as cold as yours haha it was about 41 degrees here. Caught this nice fish I didn't get the chance to weigh him but he was around the 4lb range.

Me, too!!!!!!

I was out on New Years day also in New Jersey but only could get 6 perch......but still started the new year off w/ a bang!!!..air temps were 35 degrees w/ strong wind and water was 27 degrees........Good stuff and nice smallmouth!!!!

 

 

Congrats and nice small to start the year. Our lakes are frozen here, and got out a few feet on the ice but def. not safe enough for ice fishing. I didn't let that keep me from really dialing in some of my new bait cater setups in the backyard...only four more short months.

Wow very nice way to start 2015 indeed!!! If I could have a day where I caught that many solid bass, id be beside myself.

Nice! Great way to start the year!

The pic is pretty cool, too!

 

 

 

Those are some good looking perch there, also some good eating too.

Thats an awesome way to start the year!

Nice outing.  Congratulations.

Nice combo.

That's a great way to start off the year, good job!
