It's not so cold out here. We managed these speckled trout this aft and a few largemouth that I'm not allowed to photo because that is illegal to do up here when they are out of season. Cheers. J.

what's that white stuff? $:-\$

Nice Brother!!

Very nice. Ive heard the weather is pretty cold up north lately. I escaped NNY to S GA a couple years ago so Its nice and warm

. I probly only have about a year left here though before I will undoubtedly get sent back up north. Man I sure miss the thousand island region. The bass may not be the biggest in the country but the quality of fishing is far superior to the chatahoochie system these days.

Not that cold meaning that the beer doesn't freeze as soon as you open it! Lol.

Thank you for posting your catch!

flowerjohn · January 23, 2016, 06:21:33 PM

This sure does beat the city !

Lee Smith · January 23, 2016, 09:02:44 PM

That is one beautiful part of this world! But damn it looks cold

flowerjohn · January 23, 2016, 09:50:54 PM

Lee we get the Fire goin and a big fry pan. When the fish come off we eat. It's real nice. It is some cold up here though. Cheers man. J.

Topwater you get on up here and you will have fun with us boy!! You are welcome anytime and I mean that. Cheers. J.

cojab · January 24, 2016, 10:55:33 AM

I ice fished once. Yep, just once.

I'm not the smartest guy in the world but I am smart enough to know when your miserable, quit doing that. Now if I had one of those sheds with a heater, a few beers, and the ball game on,,,,,that could change my mind.
Not knocking anyone who enjoys it, I'm just a big candy a$$ in the cold!

Thank you for inviting me!Let me know when you come down here and I will invite you fishing. I always wanted to do ice fishing and its on my list of things to do. I would like to fish for Musky,Pike,Lake Trout, and basically any fish up north.

Capt. BassinLou · January 31, 2016, 11:50:48 AM

The pics look beautiful.. but those fish look tastier!!

flowerjohn · January 31, 2016, 04:10:00 PM

Thanks Lou. We ate them all off the fire out there any yes they were mighty tasty tossed whole in a flour and herb mixture and then fried in butter. Cheers. J.

topwaterfanatic,

Come to Erie and I can get you on most of those species plus 10# walleyes and steelhead and 5# smallies.
The smallest laker we caught last year was 30".

I plan on going up North to fish for these types of fish that I have never caught sometime in the future. Lake Erie has huge Lake Trout, with several of them over 20 pounds caught and I would like to fish for them there or anywhere I can go to target them.

flowerjohn · February 01, 2016, 03:53:30 PM

Well the worm has turned here. Fished Lake O today, Lake Ontario for you Florida boys,with my son. Hit almost fifty degrees. Crazy weather no fish but just thought I'd send a few pics along.

It was real nice to go out and throw with him for a bit. This lake should be frozen solid. Cheers. J.

Smallie_Stalker · February 01, 2016, 04:05:40 PM

Very nice John. Always good to get out with the kids.

I don't know what the heck is going on with the weather. We hit 66 degrees today. $:-\$ Tomorrow we will probably get 3 feet of snow.

You are out on that eastern seaboard smallie and I have seen you guys get pounded. Lol. You have to admit this is a once in a lifetime winter. As Rodney put it in another thread "goofy". Cheers. J.
