    12/28 report. Good bite.

    I had a great day! Started 11:30am till 4pm. Wt 38-38.4 (cold) best bait was a gold blade, but caught with a ned & the jerkbait caught the big girls!! This will probably end my open water season In Iowa till ice out. Things should lock up soon with the forcast for the next few days. Time for me to cut some firewood and prep for next season. This was the best fall/winter fishing I’ve ever had!!

    Certainly not the Iowa I grew up in during the 60’s and 70’s! Nice!

    I bet there would have been a bunch of snow and ice already. I’m 40 and even I remember more snow when I was a kid.

    Hey thank you! Wife & daughter thinks I’m crazy Lol. I really just love fishing, the cold temps just add to the challenge. One great thing is there’s nobody else out on the water so I can go to any spot I want. I also have really good clothing and layers are the key for me (and hand warmers in my gloves) thankfully living in sw Iowa there a bunch of great places to fish with in a 1hr drive.
