I've fished in Maine many years without a shelter, just sayin, it is definitely doable even down to some cold temps if you have the right gear. Sometimes you need to pick the area you are going to fish based on the wind direction.
It can be done without a shelter but its so much more enjoyable with one
If we didnt have the otter that one trip to Winnie we would have both had frostbite by the time we made it to the truck...
I like going to Lake Morey in VT. It is not uncommon to land a 4 lb smallie. Also right next door is Lake Fairlee. When I go I stay at the Silver Maple lodge in Fairlee. Real cheap and it's not all that bad.
Glad these are all archived so my friends and I can come back for notes. Game plan now is to stay local to cut our teeth and try Wethersfield Cove in early February. My buddy knows someone who has more experience so we’ll do a hands on day with him first, ideally January. I’ve got my stack of tip-ups now, jogging rod just arrived today, and my manual auger arrives tomorrow. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning opening these up 🎄
