This full on winter nonsense needs to stop! I need to go fishing! And now they are calling for 3 to 6 inches of snow Sunday into Monday single digit lows and wind chills of 10 below zero! Did somebody move Texas to North Dakota?!

Looks like itโs gonna be nasty until next weekend. Gonna be a considerable Shad kill Iโm guessing which will probably screw things up for a while. Sure wish some of these trophy catfish guides still posted their trip reports and lake conditions so we could get a good idea of what the lakes and fish are doing during and after this cold snap. Iโve been planning to drag my boat to Twok after the cold passes but now Iโm worried I will be floating around like an idiot if the fish are all stuffed full of Threadfin...

I've been watching the Texas weather from Alabama. My home town of Lubbock predicts -3 as the low on Sunday.
Boats are like Strippers. They work until you quit throwing $100 bills at them.

Shad kill is exactly what I'm afraid of on my particular big fish lake. It doesn't have any really deep spots, ( about 22-23 foot max right now) so I'm hoping the massive numbers will help them live. Water temp was 49.2 to 50.1 a couple weeks ago.

The fishing fever hit me last week. I braved the chill and paddled the canoe to a nearby cove. My fever soon broke as those hungry blues devoured my marinated chicken breast. I caught about twenty cats, keeping fifteen for the freezer. I'll fry some up tonight and fantasize about the next fishing trip. I expect the fever will return soon because my new trolling motor will be delivered tomorrow. I hope spring time comes soon.

Your threadfin are about to get wiped out on that little shallow lake you fish Z. Prepare to see millions of threads doing the dreaded dart of death real soon.

just go fishing fish like when its cold I don't mind the cold. It's the 20 or more mph wind I can't stand. I got a Pontoon boat and can't put enough drift socks out to get it below a half a mph.

We went to lake Waco this past weekend for that tournament and it was 20+ mph wind and we had 2 36โ drift sock and kept our 16ft pontoon stable for the majority of the day. If we had a 3rd one, it would of been perfect

If we had a 3rd one, it would of been perfect 2 54's on mine slow it down to about .7, but, I don't recall exactly what the wind speed was the last time I was out, it was over 20. Thought really hard about going out Sunday morning to bank fish. LOL
