We went to lake nelson (a power plant lake) and there was steam from the water all over the place sence the water was 65-70 degrees and the outside temp was like 5 degrees. Craig was 10 yards away from me and I couldnt see him there was so much steam! And it was windy as hell..making it about -20 below.
To show you how cold it was: When we first made our first casts, our fishing line froze right away..make it hard to cast. And also the worms were frozen in the first 5 minutes. Not much fun. We fished for like 30 minutes and then Craig slipped and his foot fell in the water and it froze as soon as he took it out! So by then we were both ready to go.
But I did have a decent sized bass on....except he got off when I lifted him out of the water![[Image: smiley2.gif]](http://www.xanga.com/Images/smiley2.gif)
So....I think I'll wait until its nicer out...like 20 degrees and no wind to go again!
