1/17/16 Definition of a Loon

First off

Begin marking a lot of fish deep, but with leaving one of my tackle boxes at home, jigging tackle was limited. Was not going break out the cast net. So I broke out the U-rigs (translucent green swimbaits) and trolled up to B&B. Fish were stacked in the trees. Around 8:05 this rolled in

Around 8:10 this chomped down as I went around the island fighting to avoid getting snagged in 15 FOW

Trolled around that area for a while then headed back towards house on the opposite side. Picking up one more

My wife texted me and asked "Do we fish in the snow?" Answer "Yep" her answer "your a nut!" I think she knew it was just me and the Loons out there today. Saw one other boat heading up lake following the birds.
WT I think was 46 degs. when I headed the house the ATs were 35 degs. Wind had picked up to around 7-10 MPH Blustery !!!
Don't usually fish in February, so I will be back in a couple months I HOPE? Kinda going thru the same life challenges as Piper.

Fishing in the snow is always a treat.

    Glad you got a few...

Your troubles seem to be going around a lot lately.... certainly hope it's not something going around that just fishermen are catching... good luck bud, hope you get things worked out......

Glad somebody got a couple today. My first ever experience throwing a cast net in a snowstorm......was awesome!

But I only got a couple of greenfish for my troubles...no stripers today on the blackwater.

Nice congrats! We were out in the kayaks from sun up til 2pm trying live bait for the 1st time but no takers. It was awesome scenery though
