True. But once ice covers (enough so that it does not move too much) wind does not have much affect. I thought maybe there was a thin layer already. If so then it shoudl go quickly. Looks like I will hit up a smaller lake somewhere.

I know we have an ice report thread but I don't really include Oro in Kbay. Any one from Oro know what things are like there? I want to get out there Saturday but I don't want to be that guy.

What does this mean?

Bill's Jetta is a Diesel. Probably the best looking jetta wagon i have seen

Yeah I thought hunting season was done. Bill, 23rd makes sense to me. Gives me some extra time to get a pass from my wife too. Make that the 26th. I need to get some sleep.

I hope she freezes. Hey Brian I saw guys on the 'other spot' today. I might be able to get out for a few hours Saturday morning. Interested? Edit: Oops! Just read that you would be buck hunting Saturday. lol

I taught him and his brother. Condolences to the family.

white or smoke 4.5" swammer. Leave it about 15' off the bottom and watch your electronics

A boat is usually the best way to hit open water in the middle of January. LOL. Just messing with you Congrats on the nice fish. My boat is stored but that would have been very cool. I am assuming you achored?

I am not saying whether or not I was with you on said trip but do you remember that guy who was about 200 yards from us falling through? Might that be the day you were referring to?

Pretty sure even the ice whisperers couldn't know what the next step would bring. Probably could have launched the boat today and fished for lakers in oro on softwater.

nice. i might be in for saturday if that is where i think it is.

No I did not. I caught a bunch too. I didn't have a filleting knife with me. They were all about the same size, 12 to 13 inches. Cool little fish though.

Where does it say in my report that there are no hot dog bass?? There may or may not have been hot dog bass on this trip. I can not tell a lie. The two biggest fish were both hot dog bass! Guilty as charged. I must admit I have never tried it up here but in that deep pond, they love a little oscar mayer. lol

Yep. It was like 5 mins and 10 seconds away for me.

Just back from Florida and had a good time. Weather was awesome. I hit up a few ponds (every little pond in Orlando holds bass). I caught a bunch of small ones. I went to another pond near my house in Florida (same pond that I caught my PB LMB) and i fished 2 mornings for a couple of hours and did fairly well with a couple of 4 pounders and some smaller stuff as well as some good sized catfish. When I visited my cousin I fished of the dock with one of my daughters and she managed a nice little LMB I hit up another pond that has some big fish in it but this crazy little 5 foot alligator would not let me fish. Evrerytime I casted my lure he was after it. When I moved to the other side of the pond, he followed. At the end of my Orlando trip I ended up with 26 LMB. For my last 5 days we went to Tradewinds resort on St. Pete's Beach but only managed a bunch of small fish that looked like they belonged in my aquarium and also these other fish that kind of looked like bonefish but they were called whiting or Gulf kingfish. They were fast swimmers.

Has anyone used the Koppers Live target crayfish lures with much success? I went to dick's sporting goods and they were on clearance so I bought 6 of them in variouse sizes. colours and diving depths. I got them for $2.98 each so I figured I couldn't go wrong as they look to be made pretty well.

Nice Jacques

nice

swammer smoke or white white tube jig white soft jerkbait

I am a chronic motorboater and I love it.

They had slurpies grubs there too and they were $2 as well.

Love the flasher. I have a vex. Like playing video games.
