Heh... Was funny this AM, I went out to the mailbox and HEARD an F-250 crunching the ice around a turn a 1/4 mile away down the hill from me! Black ice all over the place, but it all cleared up by around 10AM.
Scottzj:
I'm gonna probably go look at the lake in the morning - they say (since cold water sinks) that catfish will at some point come up out of the deep parts, but since the water is colder everywhere, their sence of smell gets less sensitive just like when your nose is real cold. Therefore the advice I saw online so far is to use some truly horrible smelling stink bait...
One place had a recipe for it using the sauce mix from a package of Broccoli and Cheese noodle mix, and from my own experience NEVER use any bacon fat or stuff like that in cold water - it makes the bait ball too hard to work. Water or leftover boullion only, stuff that will dissolve and spread out.
Here's another tip:
The bait shop at Glenn Springs and Munford/Drummonds road intersection sells tubs of turkey liver for FOUR BUCKS APIECE!!! The stuff is only a dollar sixty nine at Naifehs in Munford and they also have Bait Shrimp at lots of grocery stores. (Naifehs for sure, $2.99 a bag).
So yeah, I'm surveying all of my warmest clothes to see if I can handle being out there. I don't think they make gloves warm enough for what happened to my hands last time out.
*Saturday and Sunday (29&30JAN) are supposed to be in the mid to upper 50's, so guess where I plan to be?

All.........I am in need of your prayers. For those that do, prayers are needed for my co-workers and friends around a buddy of mine. This early morning my co-worker and dear friend Gary past away. He had a blood vessel in his brain burst...all of a sudden with no warning.
I...am speechless and in tears......wow....what a hard hit.

Scott,
Sorry to hear about your friend and co-worker...I can only imagine the shock for you and Gary's family right now.
I am pausing now to say a prayer for him, his family and you.
God Bless!
Joe.
