Definitely - safety always comes first when on the water! In cold temperatures, you have to be even more cautious. That is why I chose a body of water that I could easily swim to bank within 30 seconds from anywhere I was on the lake if an incident was to occur. I also think you have to know your own limits. I will never put myself in a situation where I feel the risk is greater than the reward. In this case, I had 100% confidence in the situation so I was not concerned. You won't see me on a large body of water in cold conditions like this.

When I was a little girl, the creak behind my grandparent’s house had yellow perch in it, and one day, in early winter, I decided to use these brown marabou jigs I had, and I caught fish for hours, just using brown marabou jigs!

A couple years ago I decided to spend more time with spoons ($ vs. other lures is one reason). I found 1/16 and 1/8 oz blue/chrome castmasters are reliable for rainbow trout. The 1/8 and 1/4 oz gold make great search lures in rivers. As the name implies they cast superbly. I have to say I haven't had much luck with the 1/32, 1/24 and 1/12 oz sizes.

@FishAnything

@StumpkillerCP

Жыл бұрын

Great in rivers (Chenango, Susquehanna, Otselic & Tioughnioga). I fan them out in ever increasing distances. I try to keep them just off the bottom casting upstream and when downstream I use a more pulsed retrieve and do short jerks of a few feet. Though, like any lure, some days they are fantastic and some days a dud. I haven't really played with spoons in streams. If I'm not fly fishing I use spinners (I like making my own) and tiny jigs. Lately - Mule jig heads & bodies!

It’s been such a strange winter here in W. Michigan. They say you’ve got to go to Cadillac to get safe ice. Hopefully that will change here in the next week or two since we’re supposed to get a cold snap. I usually go ice fishing with my dad on our home lake on MLK Day (I get the day off and the kids are in school) because the perch are starting to group up to spawn. I wonder if the lack of ice cover is messing with the water temp enough to keep’em spread out.

Hey there Frank! I really like the solo canoe for simple fishing trips where I am only bringing a little bit of gear. That being said, it is nowhere near the fishing vessel as my kayak. The canoe is definitely better for easy transport, and exploring skinny waters, but the kayak is truly built for fishing (especially on lakes). At the end of the day, it just depends on what you plan to do with it.
