I had tough time to crank up my boat because it is too cold for the battery. 39F was the boat ramp temp. On the main lake it was mid 40s. Micro guide rod is a No No, I reeled in icy slush. I don't care what they say, it is better to fish a calm sunny day in the winter. For one is the safety, for two is the boat control targeting the fish. Air temp can be as cold as it wants to be. It won't bother me. The wind makes it cold and forms ice on fishing equipment quickly.
Great fish! thanks for sharing what you were hitting them on too. jigging spoons too huh?I've heard so many times that it's a great cold water bait, I really need to try tying one on!
