ScottW Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Managed to spool up some new line on a new reel hidden under the coal I got. Temps are looking good next week to try it out but stitches don’t come out until Dec.5th. 😑 Hoping it gets warmer by then or shortly after. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your stitches will be coming out for what I hope is the peak flurry of activity.....temps will have reached as high as they'll get, and the barometer and wind will be shifting with an incoming front I'm sure. I'd have to pay to see 14 days in the future 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaSpothunter Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Just watched this video from BR after wanting to try a swimjig after the Jones epic stuff. Didn't really touch on what I wanted in regard to the way Josh Jones is using them, but I learned something I think will be very useful. The Best Winter Swim Jig Tips and Tricks - How To from Wes Logan | Video | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC (bassresource.com) TL/DW: All that warm rainwater will be constantly washing into the lakes, which also will be adding organic particles which collect heat and increase the temps even higher in those shallow areas.

Planning on using it for Ned-rigs, T-rigged soft plastics, etc. I’m liking the forecast! 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 27, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted December 27, 2022 Saturday looks good here, so does Sunday. For sure going Saturday, might try to make it out both days though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User LrgmouthShad Posted December 29, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 29, 2022 I sure hope that warm weather gets things going. My last session on Harris was a little disappointing.

A little bit of willow. Saturday. It will be rainy and cloudy. Plan on going out in a rain suit. A big thumper spinnerbait will dominate that day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koz Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 It's supposed to storm here on Saturday, but it will be cloudy and 70 on Sunday. I may take Saturday and run some new coated rudder cables on my kayak and then head out on Sunday. I'm a little wary being out on my kayak when the water is this cold, but the striper, white bass, and hybrid bite is heating up and I'd like to get in on that. Hopefully the largemouth pre-spawn bite heats up in January as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
