Thread: Fishing 1/13/17

Sounds like a good plan for such a cold day!

Been working on mine for a couple of weeks, now I am ready to fish.So I am with you there.

I'm going bank fishing tomorrow afternoon. Supposed to be above freezing by then. May not be able to stay long but hope to catch a couple.

Tying jigs tonight and need to finish installin the Humminbird SI unit and them I am ready to fish.....hopefully the weather will warm up some.

I’ve had my old boat on Craigslist since early to mid December and out of the blue a guy from Savannah, Tennessee texted me about it this morning. I ended up meeting him in Decatur to check out the boat. He and I wanted to just back it down the ramp and crank it so that’s what we did. Then his 16 year old son decided he wants to take the boat for a drive. I told him he wasn’t driving it but if he wanted to ride, we’d go up the river. I had no gloves, no sunglasses and only had a light weight jacket on. We got about 1/10th of a mile up the river and my hands were numb and the water in my eyes felt like it was frozen. I announced that the boat ride was over and headed back to the ramp. LOL They did end up buying the boat so it was all good in the end.

So I ended up on the water but didn’t fish. Glad it was a short trip

I don't think his excitement outweighed my frozen eyeballs. LOL At least I freed up some money to buy me one of those fancy trolling motors! About to get to work on the boat in earnest starting next week. I want it ready by 2/1 and I'm gonna have to hump it to get it finished by then. It'll soon be ready for you to ride in!

I just left the AL Cattlemens annual banquet at the rec center in Guntersville. The wind coming across Browns creek was painful. Bundle up extra for your fishing trip.
