Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota | I’ll be fishing a small river until December 1st since it never ices up unless it’s bellow 0 for a long time. I usually can get a few weeks of walleye fishing on the Mississippi in Minneapolis in December before the launches ice up. I don’t do any ice fishing so I always squeeze out as much open water time as I can. Usually can get back on the river walleye fishing by the end of February |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Snowed most of the day today. weekend is supposed to have a high of 25 with a nice wind....but next weekend might be warm enough for a turkey day chase. OR, it is over...
Saying it here: going to get back into working out this winter so I'm not a big rolly poly next year! |

Location: SW Ohio | Thought I'd still be fishing but 19 degs this morning. Below freezing the last couple days and projected to warm up mid week but dropping again after that. Lake not frozen but not my cup of tea fishing in freezing temps especially fishing solo. Been spoiled the last couple years with it staying warm right up to Christmas. Still holding out hope that things will warm up, though... |

| Supposed to drop to 4 degrees tonight in Oneida County. That should at least skim over the lakes still largely open. |

Location: Athens, Ohio | Last month, I was on one of my favorite 'local' lakes casting, and the leader snap broke, dropping my bait into 5-6 ft of water. Lake was looking like turnover, with visibility only a couple feet, I patrolled the area for quite a while, this Muskie Treat was one of my favorites (lemonhead!). No luck, and no fish for the day either.
Well, this week I went back. Lake level was down abt 3 ft and I hit a few spots. My real goal, tho, was to find that bait. I followed my GPS to the spot where there were a lot of small tight circles and made a slow pass gazing from the water edge to the summer pool line. Back and forth, nope. Then, I started the pass looking below the water's edge and nestled up against a dinner plate sized rock in 6 inches of water was my freakin Treats.
Poor thing had been under water a month and was swelled up like a roadkill. I took it home dried it out and did a few basic repairs, I think it's ready to go again. Gotta give it a try before this cold spell come io. m |

| Went this last Saturday for the final time of the year. Lost one on a sucker, tail grabber. Raised (2) others. Deep freeze is coming after this weekend. Time to clean things up and get ready for next year. I really dislike calling it quits but when mother nature says she is locking things down for the open water season here I have little choice.
