    Water Skiers on Northwest today (January!!)

    Spent a few hours on Northwest River today....warm and extremely windy

    water temp 53~59 degrees
    water stained to muddy

    Pretty much had the river to myself. Ended up catching 2 bass a bowfin and a pickerill, all on soft plastics (gambler ugly otter in winter craw color).

    Figured it was time to head home when the water skiers showed up

    At least the guy in the pic has a full suit on. Last weekend on Anna we saw a guy with shorts and short sleeves out, water temp was like 54. Just crazy...

    Yep, I've seen the skiers on Hyco every time I've been there this year. At least the water is a little warmer there. Those guys on Harris are "Pros", they ski almost every day to practice.
    Discipline is the key, if you can't hack it, pack it!
