Due to the 256832 feet of snow I am going to stay here and fish the big eye tourney at Jordan Lake... May try to go back to IT next weekend
I went out today at Cannons ferry. Canal was iced in. Had to go to gatesville. River was muddy looking but the creeks were clean. Good news is the creeks I was fishing were clean of duck weed. Bad news is I didnt get a bite.

I'm sure IT is froze over. I checked the Yeopim yesterday and it was froze all the way out to the Sound. Pembroke creek was froze and a big portion of Edenton Bay was froze. Gonna wait till Sunday for IT.CF

Yea Ed I was talking to Dean and I know the rivers are iced over and today I was working in Suffolk and Mead was solid across. I may try to go sunday and hope the ice has moved out. When is the next full moon?
Did she thaw out?
I talked with Dean sunday morning and after calling James at n/w I decided to wait till all this ice is gone. Ice will tear up your boat if your not careful.
Looks like Thursday trip to IT for me. Looks like the only day that I'll get weather wise. I am so ready to go. i am like a cat ready to pounce on the first good weather day to head up there. Have postponed the trip twice now.CF

You go Thursday then you can let me know if a trip Sunday would be worth it. Talked to a commercial guy Friday that was coming in at the ramp in Hertford, said he had caught a few yellow perch but mostly small ones so far. If weather gets too bad, may just have to try around there. I'm sure with all the snow runoff and rain the PQ will be way too muddy upriver to try for any crappie. But like you, I gotta get out and try to catch some fish. My wife won't be able to be around me if me and Sam don't go fishing soon. Tootsie Roll

Looks like I'll be hitting it with you on Friday Dean. No minnows anywhere around here. Bait shop getting in a load tomorrow. Dad is going with me and he is not as confident on the jigs. I don't use minnows so no big deal to me. Sounds like Fridays weather will be better anyway. What time are you looking to be there? You putting in at waterlilley?CF
