Rich Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 My opinion is leaning towards the latter when reflecting upon today's attempt at carp fishing. It was -27 out there with the windchill.. if that water was sitting still it would be ice! Harsh. Even if we did get hits, the extreme winds would have hindered our ability to detect them. But like any fishing trip, the fun wasn't in the catching. It was still fun to get out, even if it was a short trip. Now you can call us "The Masked Carp Crusaders" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdotfisherman Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I think thats awsome.. who cares how cold it is.. I went out fishing about a week ago and it was about -5, and I only fished for about 20 minutes before I threw in the towel due to the cold, but who cares!? It was just fun getting out there, and I'm sure you feel the same way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Rich...not crazy...maybe obsessed?? LOL. Good on you for getting out there! My first steelie ever came on a day exactly like this day you went out. It was well worth it! There is no fishable open water around me or else I'd have been out there as well I'm sure. It's been well over a month since I last wet a line and bly and I are going stir crazy!!! Great job...even with no fish, looks like a good time out there.

Pigeontroller Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Keep in mind with those air temps fish brought out of the water will likely not recover well, eyes freeze over for one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Runner Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Extreme. Is this a poll? J/K lol. Good on ya for getting out. Most, including myself, would've stayed home, but we suffer from fishing withdrawal. You two are a brave pair. reefrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
