Upstate S.C. Is hosting the big Bassmasters Fishing Tournament today, Saturday and Sunday----This morning they were launching at 7:00AM and it was 12 degrees!....some of the boats were frozen to the trailers!....Just not my idea of fishin' weather, but these guys are dedicated pros and seem to love it!....

They have too go out in such weather. That IS their income... Some times it is great to have office jobs...or better yet retirement! :thumb:

I have friends that put the boats in all winter long on the Mississippi River in WI and MN,...

It's a blast if you've never done it,..

I have to say, 12? is pretty hard core. When it gets down to about 40? I'm pretty much done for the season. I live in Iowa so that means I'm done fishing for at least 4 months.
