...It was a thin fish. <br /><br />I only throw 4" tubes.<br /><br />3/4 were thin. Minnows I saw were tiny. Probably not a good sign for that pool.<br /><br />Course I have caught some gigantic fatties in there too.<br /><br />Typically a fat SMB in an Indiana Creek is exception rather than rule.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130885596569505778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159457880557538756.post-59665381683328428112010-03-02T06:32:21.449-05:002010-03-02T06:32:21.449-05:00BT,

I've been out 3 times in the last couple weeks. 7 bass so far, with a nice heavy 19" as the largest. Water temps have been 36 degrees.

It was 38F, which was the high in the last week.<br /><br />The thing to remember is, moving water doesn't freeze as easily. <br /><br />You may be able to fish warm water discharges or areas warmed naturally by springs.<br /><br />You may have rivers with free water up there, I don't know.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130885596569505778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159457880557538756.post-71765095874248257212010-03-01T09:41:06.932-05:002010-03-01T09:41:06.932-05:00Nice smallie!
