Cold and Hot at Huntington

[Cdragon]

We also hit Huntington and I agree with BHOOKED's report........ Very Cold!!! I fished with Widastick and my 11 yr old son. My son had it easy..... he spent the day in my little ice shack while me and Widastick battled with the elements. The "W" blew ALL day. It was 7 degrees (that's what the truck thermometer showed ) when we got there a little before sun up and that didn't include the wind chill. And I don't think it got much above 15 maybe 20 degrees all day long. Just a guess as we didn't have a thermometer on the ice. And when the sun went behind the mountain at the end of the day.... the temps dropped FAST!!! I hate to fish with gloves but had to throw them on a few times to warm up [crazy]. As far as the fish..... we didn't do as good as it sounds like some of the groups did but we faired alright. Had fish on the finder all day long. The bite was definately light and we missed multiple fish but it was definately worth the trip. We tipped our jigs with nightcrawlers and minnows with similar success on both. Nothing over about 17 inches and everything we caught went back for another time.

It was good to get that first ice trip in!!! Can't wait for the next one!!![]
