    We had a Largest Bass year long tourney and each year the largest bass was always caught in December or January.

    Go shallow or move out a bit like 6-12 foot.

    It will help. The best fishing of the year is coming up over the next few months.

    Won't hurt a thing. I love the fishing this time of year. Caught close to 50 Monday on everything from a worm to an A-rig.

    Neil is correct. Stay home with the family.


    If I fished to live.....I'd starve to death!

    It's not called a 100mph suit for no reason. It's why you spent the extra money on the 36v 112lb thrust, right? Alas, my motors due for an oil change and plugs so I think I'll skip testing the 100mph suit or TM battery life...

    Thanks for all the input. I decided not to watch football and went today. Took my brother and we went out around 9 and froze to death but had one of the best days i have ever had on the water. The big girls were biting. They were in about 5 ft and ate it when it got there. Only thing that got cold was my hands but that went away fast. water was about 50.9 according to the graph but the fish felt warm and color on them was good. thx again

    Try wearing some disposal latex surgical gloves.Ii wear them under my fingerless wool gloves. Keeps the wind and water off your hands. Add a hand warmer inside to make it toasty!
