Bass Smacker- Did you find that ice off of Italian? I've got to say, our brother lip-rippers in the east can have that weather. Northern Cali weather can continue to spoil me year round .  I forgot, I gotta wear shades  8-).

Snow doesn't bother me.  Its the ice.......

Ice? Did anyone say ice?  We had three days of freezing rain and sleet last week-end.  MUch of Oklahoma has been declared a disaster area.  We still have three inches of ice on the ground, and with highs in the mid-twenties, it's going nowhere fast.  To top things off we expecting six to eight inches of snow this week-end.

I love winter time, but not when it comes to fishing!! I would much rather sit out on a boat in warm weather than in this freezing stuff we are having right now!! Last week it was 70 today the high is 35 and raining !! Not the kind of fishin weather I like!!!

Man I can't see how you guys can live like that! I would go crazey. Have'nt

missed a weekend of fishing in 2 years. I fished 14 days straight from

Dec - Jan 07 caught a lot of nice fish. I have never offered a guide service

put give a call! 8-)

I'm anxious, but I fish year round.  I also use the winter to make changes to my gear.  Since I probably spend less (by $150-200) a month, I can replace lures, damaged/old/broken tackle, upgrade electronics, or move something on one of the boats, and put stuff where it goes, which I NEVER seem to do on the water.  

When I get out on the water, once every 10-14 days, I can take some minnows and bobbers along with my suspending baits and jigs, and catch perch and crappie.  There's hardly ever more than 3 or 4 other boats, usually old guys, and for some reason, my boatless friends don't want to go with me.

Oh, I also work on the admiral's list, so I can keep out of drydock when the bass move onto the beds.  Right after that is striper season, then the flounder come.  I can't be missing that to work on her house.
