Hey SU, I'm in northern Illinois, ice-out was a couple weeks ago but we're still getting these cold blasts and unstable weather. I'm wondering, how early in the season do other ice-out bigbaiters find success fishing after dark/overnight? Most of my warm weather fishing is done at nighttime so I'm no stranger to the overnight bite, but I've never really done it this early in the season. Has anyone gotten on any night bites when water temps are still in the low 40s? I know conventional fisherman say the best time is the afternoon, when the sun's been up all day and warmed the shallows some. Just curious if I should even waste my time in the windy (gusts up to 35mph) upper 30s air temps we've got out here right now--I'm thinking I'd throw the Hudd 68 and the TK, two baits I know get bit during the daytime in chilly water. Thanks boys and God bless.

Had an 80 degree day in March so I could pass up on a night mission, stuck a 4-15 slow waking the pats crappie and then next cast stuck a 6-11. After re tying I then casted my pats crappie into the abyss.

Since its that time of the year where everything it's getting cold, and it's officially winter time in some parts of the country, lows in the teens here in Indiana, I thought I'd throw this question out there. Fishing strictly in cooler water, fall, winter, spring time, tell us a little story of some success you've had while fishing cold water, whether it's been number days or a time when you have caught a giant. Talk about Water temps, lure(s) used, weather conditions. And maybe even post a picture to go along with it so we know it's not a fishermans wise tale 😉 I'm still looking for my first winter swimbait fish so hearing ya'lls stories will motivate me to put in that much more time to go try!
