I went out yesterday afternoon right as the front hit. 1 bite which I missed. It is in the mid 30s now. Next week will warm up again. I am ready to go as soon as we have 3 days of warm weather and sun.
Also the last full moon in February is 1 week from today. If we are warm a lot of fish will move up and start cruising the shallows. Certainly not all as the water will still be in the low 50s but SOOOO CLOSE!
I like fishing the winter better than the post spawn though. Gig gals all move offshore in deep water and are very hard to target unless you have a shallow lake or good electronics. I have a helix 10 on my yak but dammit I have the wrong transducer so my sidescan does not work and my down imaging is poor quality. I think the transducer is for a less powerful unit.
Anyway, my buddy just bought a bassboat and I will kayak when he is not available but love pitching and flipping this time of year.
