Went to Arkansas and brought the cold with me... To be fair the winter has not let go down there yet either... it was in the 40s and water temp was just begining to hit 50... needless to say we did not do well. We had 1 solid strike on a 7" live shad and another strike (likely a smaller black bass) on a shiner, but cold wind and rain cut our trip short. Still was a blast and now we have a 1/2 day trip coming in the future but I think I will wait for some warmer weather. I did not pack my MN winter fishing gear...

Glad you were able to make it down there! Was a bit chilly in the area.

I went down to beaver lake over the forth to visit a friend that lives on the lake. Fishing was good on Wednesday and Thursday and then the boaters came out. Didn't catch anything real big, but caught a ton of fish in the 24-30 inch Range. Used umbrella rigs with blue/ white roadrunners with 6" white tails. It was a fun trip and I'm kicking myself for not going down there sooner. I'll defiantly will be going back to chase a 30 pounder!!
