Winter wonderland.

Pffft.

I hope the runoff doesn't give the fish lockjaw where I live.

Just a dusting where I am on the North Shore of LI (directly opposite Bridgeport).

Ben, I never got Fred G's theory on the first snowfall doing in the season. A cold, miserable rain like yesterday should have the same effect, I would think, but it doesn't :confused:

That any measureable accumulation of snow lowers the water temp and sends the fish packing for good.

There's a tackle shop owner near me who gets the biggest charge out of it. He has pictures on his wall of him and a few others bailing 30 pounders after a major blizzard. You can see drifts on the beach ;)

Hey Chunker. Anytime. Jigs and porkrind are best now. Just leave the 10 bearing reels at home they don't work too well in the cold. Old green stuff works best from Penn. Tight lines and your right Let It Snow. That means striper season will be back sooner. Let the drag screem

you do know if eben was using that rod instead of leaving it in his rack there would be no snow on it just fish .

the sad thing is that rod isnt bent by use
