Thought I'd be on the water early this week, but it Snowed a couple of inches overnight here.

So that's not looking good. 

Mean while, there's this.

I went with number 3.

A-Jay

went with number 2 lol
 

I kinda want number 1 to be a surprise 

 

Can find out number 3 when there and make adjustments

 

Can always find a way to scare off number 4

Response number 4 is kinda funny.

#2

#2 for me

#2

No guess work for the reason I’m there

#2 without a doubt.

 

Btw @A-Jay I've seen your picture lots of times and although you don't look like him after reading #4 im not so sure your not Randy Blaukat!

I went with #3 also.  Part of the fun, at least for me is the mystery of the other ones.   I can look on windy or other sources for wind speed and directions but the lake channel often changes the wind.   

#2 Only big fish matter. The rest are just fun distractions in between the big's.

I want number one to be a surprise, determining number 2 on my own is the challenge and reward I get when I go fishing, number 3 is useful important information, but doesn't interfere with the mystery of the day, and number 4 currently would not happen where I fish.  For these reasons I picked number 3.

I chose #1. Dead of winter, Pacific Northwest, I’m a shore angler to boot, and if I know it’s going to be zero bass that day, forget that, I’ll go golfing or go on a long bike ride (road or mountain) or make some lures. 
 

With that said, I have never been caught a bass from the shore in winter. Hence question  #1 and I’m sticking to it. 
 

I almost caught a smallie one winter but it was from a boat in 25 degree weather. Despite having gloves on, my hands and fingers were so stiffly frozen that I set the hook with the rod on top of my right forearm and pulled back. The only way I could reel in line was with the palm of my hand pushing up against the handle with fingers straight out as if I were going to shake someone’s hand and moving that in a circular motion. To make things worse, I lost that bass. Blazing around the lake at 40 mph and the cold went my windbreaker as if I weren’t wearing it. Human popsicle. 

#2 I like morbidly obese girls. 

#1 I’m a quantity over quality beer drinker and that carries over to my fishing as well.

E. None of the above 

 

if I knew any of those, why go ?

Must be a Yankee thing, cause I got no clue what @A-Jay is asking!

 

 

The answer to #4 is always yes 

#3 for me A-Jay

#1 for me. I know I'm going to catch fish so #2 will work itself out.  I'll find out #3 before I leave, and I'm not worried about #4.

I choose #2.  If as could ask any question of the fishing gods before a trip it would be what depth are most of the bass.

#2 no doubt about it.

I choose #5 exact Latitude and longitude of Lake Menderchuck

I picked #1 - while I'd love to get a big mama in the boat, I'm not out to catch monsters every time...I just wanna catch some

Uhhh - which one...there are several.

How many bass I'll catch. Size is secondary for me. I fish because I like to catch. Catching plus size is a bonus. I have many other hobbies and I enjoy nature just fine outside of fishing. So, I don't fish for nature nor is it my only hobby, so if I'm to catch little or nothing, let me know so I don't waste my time. I'm not a pro by any means, not even close, but I know how to catch bass just fine. Chalking a bad day up to a "learning day" doesn't work for me. Those years have long past. We're catching in good weather or we're simply doing something else I enjoy.
