With the extended warm temps, is anyone still on the water? If so, what are the rest of us with boats in storage missing?

Not me! But, it's been better fishing weather than duck hunting weather the last couple weeks. Definitely winterized the boat too early.
I went out on Waconia Sunday…you didn’t miss anything lol
Almost every day I can I have been out prop testing. Fingers crossed for December. We have a big gathering going on a river run this Saturday in Hudson.

Out yesterday, still a good bite going. Water temp was 40. Deep weed line still has some green weeds( deep weed line on this lake is 8 to 9 feet) Boated 11 good bass Pulled off after 4-hours when the the temp started to drop and the wind got to be a problem. Looking at the upcoming weather that may have been the last outing on soft water.
Admittedly, I'm a muskie guy, and I try to fish until the lures bounce. On Sunday, I lost a monster muskie at the side of the boat before I could net it (solo!). So I feel like I have one more fish to catch before I prep the boat for its long winter's nap. This long weekend could be the end. Good luck to all you other folks still on the water!
My last day out was 11/11 and I caught a couple on a drop shot. Caught two bass, about 1.5lbs and maybe a touch over 2 lbs. Would have went the next weekend but was putting up Christmas lights on the house. Unless we get a weird warm up here in early December, I am likely done for the year.

I can barely bring myself to trust the weather guessers for the next 24 hours let alone a 10 day forecast but I'll be watching to see if this one holds.Originally Posted by bassmastermatt

I’m fishing tomorrow December 2. Haven’t caught an open water December bass in a lake since 2016. Can’t miss out on another opportunity!
Any luck, Brian?

My last outing on the water was mid-November, then winterized/put the boat away, probably could have gotten another week or two with the milder weather we had thru Thanksgiving.
Lake Reno (Alexandria/Glenwood area) had quite a few people out of the hard water this weekend. A few people were out on the ice at Lake Minnewaska, yet I think that was a bit risky as the ice didn't seem very stable.
You live in a very nice part of the state.I know the first ice bite can be good but I'm not an ice fisherman and could never quite understand the risk. But that's just me.
