(Lake Nelson is a power plant lake. The plant feeds warm water into the lake, so the lake is open all year round, it doesnt freeze.)
Went to lake nelson today. The temperature was -8 degrees. I didnt care about the temp as long as there was no wind. So I suited up with my thermal underwear. I was ready! I got to the lake and it was steaming, no surprise. I got there at 1 O'clock. I started out using my baitcasting reel, but the steam was too much for it. The anti-reverse started to not work[
]. So I switched to my spinning reel and put on a chartruse spinner with a nightcrawler because thats the only thing that my friend was getting bites on. My friend got cold and he went and sat in the pickup. So I kept on fishing and got a couple of bites and caught about a 6" largemouth. Then at 4 O'clock my feet started getting cold and so I called it a day.
You know you like fishing when you go when its -8![cool]
