.......when it comes to fishing.
Just taking a poll. Who went fishing in the cold weather today and what did you catch?
Noticed somebody went to Fairfield yesterday and tore 'em up.

I went out this afternoon on Buchanan and caught 40 whites but I wouldn't call it hardcore. Hardcore is when you have to dip your rod tip in the water to clear the ice.

I have a tournament in the morning. Supposed to be 28 degrees. But I seen and felt worse.

hardcore=carp anglers....2 of our guys have been on the banks of emma long in Austin since monday...in tents they lines have not been taken out of the water and they are going to be fishing for another 9 days across east texas.

Yeah...I'll be out in it all next week with the carpers, no matter what the weather.

will be on Lake in the morning. Now Sunday is a different story with the forecasted winds 25-35 and temps in the 20's- 30's

Sorry LoneStarCarper, but I'm thinking the correct equation is

carp anglers=lunatic fringe.

I've been in a couple of bass tournaments where it was in the 20's all day but that was just one day.

I hope they're keeping a journal, thats gonna make a good story.

I will fish no matter what.


.. and I always fish in shorts..


No matter what!

Well heading for the creek in the morning should be 32 to 35 in the morning with a 10 to 15 mph north wind and thats out in the open plus it will be muddy as hell just hope i catch some white bass if not it will be a very cold morning LOL

Shorts? Thats not the smartest thing I've heard of but hey you do what you do, even if it lands you in bed the next week fighting off the flu! haha

Only sissy's and yanks get the flu. When I have shorts on I am like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable. Superhuman!


-Z-

LOL yeah bum but u a bit south then me, don't think i could wear shorts in 32 deg. with a 15 mph north wind.

Yeah see if i get sick and catch the flu then i can't fish LOL so has to stay warm LOL

Okay I'm not sure this fits in but... I use to fish a rock jetty that was an inlet to Barnegat bay on the Atlantic coast as a kid. We waited till we got 3-4 swells generally accompanied with cold inclimate weather because those were the ideal situations to catch Stripped Bass in the 30-50 lb range on surf pole & 2 oz bucktail jigs. You wait till lowtide & walk out over the boulder rocks to the end with full rain gear on including cleats. We'ld anchor ourselves with a cord to an hook eye that was predrilled in the rock to make sure once the tide got high along with the swells we didn't get washed out to sea. That was generally 2-3 hours of the best times I can remember fishing each outting. My biggest was about 37 lbs & seen one landed cose to 45lbs. This type of fishing wasn't for everyone & generally you'ld hear of losing an angler every so often. We had to deflate our tires to 8lbs just to drive down the beach 10 miles just to get there. Total awesome memories.
