this winter dose not want to quit.it is gonna be cold all week too.we need a break!!!!

I would've been happy if I had a single bite from even minnows, perches, or anything. Absolutely nothing. I fished the surface and bottom (probably 20 feet), dragged the bait real slow, slower, just letting it sit including various drop shot at various depth for different types of lures.

You guys weren't alone in bringing home the skunk. I gave it a try on Sunday afternoon and couldn't buy a nibble. It was cold. The upcoming weather forecast takes the sting out of so many waters being closed the next few weeks.

I guess I would wait until the air temp. is around 50's and water temp is in high 40's. I am getting too old for this weather.

I couldn't agree with you more- bring on the heat and warmer weather... enough of this cold weather junk!!

doesn't look like that will happen this week.

I just fished the 42 degree Carnegie/Millstone or an hour with a small jig and didn't get a hit.
