| Local water temps have dropped into the mid-40s, and they'll be dropping further with this week of cool weather we expect in the northwoods. How do you fish cold and really cold water? Thanks! |

| Cold temps, Fall fishing, snow on the ground for snowmobiling, ice on the lakes for ice fishing...all sounds GREAT right now! I'm flat-out tired of this 100+ degree weather. I'm done with it. Bring on Fall and Winter! :thumbsup:

Usually hang 2 suckers, the bigger the better (can usually get 18-20" locally), and a big Suick when I can feel my hands. Some of the biggest fish I've seen have been with the lake half frozen and doing an ice breaking mission to get to open water. |
