Fishing technique for this weekend?

[Iceman12]

Looks like really cold weather and high pressure is moving in this weekend. What are some good techniques to use with this type of weather?

[Ralph Wiggum]

My technique will be staying warm at home!

with the cold weather. the first thing i would do is to make sure to have a bit of anti-freeze on hand. i.e MGD,MGD LITE, BUD, or your favorite. some traction stuff. i.e chips, crackers, cheese, and dip. then i would be sure to make my fishing chair as warm as possible. i.e. chase the cats out. and park my butt in front of the tube to watch the DAYTONA 500 and not worry about freezeing the tips of your fingers,or other things, off while doing crazy stuff like setting up the portable in the kind of dangerous temps and windchills that are predicted. LOL if you do go out be safe and careful but as much as i like to be out there i am gonna opt out. and i will be on ice again before the close of the season. have fun. ..... paul

Quess I am getting a little wimpeee, as I am gonna be hanging out in my nice WARM hobby shop this weekend. Probably re-spool a couple reels, clean up the fishing gear, and get ready for the last and best 5 to 6 weeks of ice. Pretty hard to fish evenings when I know the olympics are showing in the evenings. Finally we are getting some good ice.

Yeah, I was going to go out tomorrow morning, but a family friend died this week and her funeral is tomorrow. Probably saving me from some nasty frostbite! Will venture out Sunday.

Downsize would be the key, always seems to elicit more bites during double-barrel cold fronts like these.

I'll be out in the perm shack this weekend. Going to be interesting staying overnight. No tip ups outside that's for sure.

Gotta get out when the wife gives you the free pass, no matter what the weather brings.

Where you fishing Mudcat? I see your from Shafer. I'll be on N Center.

ditto....up on the nort end u no.

Is the ice safe to drive out on? I have heard it is. I will be up on the north end as well. I'll be in a green Otter Cabin, with an Avalanche. If you see me stop on by.

I'm driving a 2500HD Crew around, some probally think I'm nutz but with this cold snap there's some good solid ice. Good luck this weekend.

I'm going hyper-small and nearly motionless. I'll be out tonight and tomorrow. I'm going to start in deeper water than normal.

We'll just have to see what happens.
