My son and I are going in the afternoon once we get rid of all the guests.

My aunt always says “here’s your hat, what’s your hurry?” when she wants us to get the heck out of her house about 3 or 4 pm

I'm guessing none of you are going to need an auger?

If we are helping someone build a fence that would be a great help......

Will go Christmas if not going to in-laws we havent decided yet.

I got out today Northern IL at favorite little lake for trout fishing, didnt get any.

Tried a Ned rig in a creek today, no takers 

I'm not going on Christmas, but I am on the 27-28th with this guy. My first FL fishing trip. I'm so hyped I can hardly sleep.

 

Gonna be 67 here on christmas day. Sounds like a good time to try the christmas buzzbait bite.

Planning on it if there is enough open water. Possibly today and tomorrow as well 

Yep, right after presents until right before dinner.

 

 

 

 

I like to go steelhead fishing in the ditches on X_mas morning, if I don't have the kids.  This year, I do, so no fishing for me.

I probably will in the afternoon.

Spend the day with your family and love ones. Only 1 Christmas Day a year.

Yule has already passed (that's what the wife and I celebrate), and tonight I'm taking dinner to the parents - they're both 85 and still living independently.

 

If there was open water here - I'd be out Christmas Day as the lakes would probably be clear of people.

We do that on Christmas Eve and my girls spend Christmas day with their significant others Family.and most people don't want you to work on their house Christmas day, so fishing it is.

That is if I can figure out how to get them to bite in this 42° Water.

I'll take your 42* water in a heart beat.

I tried for trout again today 2 bites caught one.

I’ll get some fishing in before prime rib dinner 

My plans may have been thwarted! At least I caught some white bass and smallmouth today

Screw that, I see these people every day. Having the pond and an entire day to myself - that is rare!

 

However, I doubt I'll fish today haha. I forgot about it until now. It isn't too late, maybe I'll go just to say I did.

 

<looks outside>...nah.

I thought for sure we would have open water by now. Today was 51 and sunny, but there’s still ice and it isn’t safe. 

One of my girls had a change in plans.

Its been many years scents one of my girls spent the day on the water with me. There is a Santa Claus 

I’ve had the last 5 days straight off work so I’ve been on the water literally every day. 
23° this morning and the fish were not in a cooperative mode but I still managed a few before I had to leave for Christmas with the family. 
This 19” 4.9lb chunker was the cake.
