Not sure where you were fishing, but when I woke up sunday morning it was sunny and brisk outside....headed to my spot and the action was decent.   Weather shifted about an hour later, got windy and the snow started coming down....the action was slow for the rest of the day.

Thats interesting about the male/female ratio grump...I've never thought about looking for patterns like that.  Next time I'll pay more attention.
Let there be ice.

One thing I noticed around x-mas was the fish seemed to be biting in the morning one day then would slow down till the afternoon the next day when they would start biting again. Then the next morning they would be biting then die off till the next day's afternoon. I talked about with my friend and he jsut laughed at me. Maybe I was overanalyzing it. ???
pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one

They aren't biting at all for me since I'm not fishing  :'(  I'll be fixing that this weekend though.

Full moon on Saturday...good fishing ahead.

God grant me the Serenity to accept the size of the fish I catch,
the Courage not to fib about it,
and the Wisdom to know that no one would believe me anyway.
