Anybody else tempted to go fishing on Christmas and day after Christmas?  I'm a firm believer in the fish calendars and every single one says those are the best days this month.  I'm not talking about skipping Christmas activities but I believe there's going to be my minimal tackle backpack and at least 4 rods in my car at all times this week for any chances I get to sneak away without ruining the holiday spirit!!!

Lol, just wanted to see who all else can't focus on the holidays with all this good fishing and warm weather going around!!!!!

i would except i will be traveling so no fishing for me. I will be going out tomorrow and probably wednesday though to see what i can get into.  Haven't decided on trout or bass or river or lake yet though....

I'm going with Smallies and Crappie on my local river.  Mainly because it's 1/2 a mile away so those are my best chances to fish without being gone too long.

Not on Christmas Day, but I will be fishing the day prior. It's supposed to be 69* here in the Baystate...unheard of! 

Good luck if you do get out!

After the results I've had recently in late season cold water conditions; and cold water is a relative term as I've not fished any 70 degree days on Christmas Eve - I'd be fishing two rigs.  And two rigs only ~

A 1/2 oz Silver Buddy and a 3/4 oz Silver Buddy.  Silver in the sun and Gold when there's clouds.

Watch out for over-sized Pike !

I'm leaving MD Wednesday morning to head to Florida for a week, so heck yea I'm definitely fishing Christmas Day. I'm going to visit my mother and she has a freshwater canal right out back of her house, along with a couple of kayaks. From what I gather the bass spawn Jan. through May so I would think they're eating pretty decent, at least I hope so.

I fished today, and I would totally fish on Christmas day. Or any other day, for that matter

Im going fishing new years day at a new community, hopefully I slay some pigs.

I'll be fishing Tues - Fri this week as the temps are supposed be be from 65 - 77 everyday (Virginia)

 

Wednesday and Saturday for awhile I'm sure. Too windy to fly fish this past Saturday so I'm Jonesing to get out. Won't be for bass but for trout. Trying to teach myself the fly fishing game. Good luck, happy holiday.  

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that can't resist going out there this week!  Just talked my buddy into taking off work Wednesday to explore a local lake that's real high right now.  Tons of trees in the water that normally aren't, fishing calendar is right, temperature is nice...............This is lining up pretty well

 

 

I'm also a firm believer in those calendars.  And Id go for sure if I hadn't stole my boat battery for my truck.  Humm I could borrow the wife's truck battery. 

I would love to go fishing over the holidays but I'm going to visit my sister  and brother who live in  SC they don't fish so I don't know  anything  about the area so I guess I will just have to visit. By the way Barnwell Co. and Williston just in cast  any one is in the area and need a break from  the family.

My calender says the best time to go fishing is any time  you can go fishing!

Hoping Santa is good to me so I can try out any new toys on the weekend, no ice on my lake yet so I get out almost everyday!

What would make you believe in fishing calendars? Isn't it the same science as horoscopes?

Going to fish on Christmas with my  Family . 

Fishing Christmas and New Year's Day use to be a tradition for me but getting married kind of put a damper on that tradition. 

Not going on Christmas Eve or Christmas day.  Too much stuff with the family going on.  Other than that I will be on the water.  The temps are just too warm to stay home.

Another St. Louis guy!  Agreed, these temperatures are impossible to resist, especially with all the high waters right now.  So many trees and new foliage for everything to feed on.  Wednesday and Thursday will be my fishing days.  Possibly this entire weekend too, lol.

How do I determine when to fish.

I will be hitting Lake Okeechobee with a friend of mine Xmas weekend. But no fishing for me on Xmas Eve or Xmas Day. 

Will be going Xmas eve, 65 degrees in December in SW. PA. is too good to pass up.
