Winter Schoolies
With snow swirling outside my window I get thinking, how many of you have gotten or chased some winter bass? I got a larger schoolie (oxymoron I guess) just before the new year on the last time I went out. Anyone else giving chase over the winter? I know a lot say why bother, but I like to take an occasional shot...

There's a good article on winter schoolie fishing in this month's New Jersey Angler magazine if you can find one up here.

Paliaso and I were out on Saturday. Nada.
Did spend $40 on shiners though (they were really nice ones) 
Nice to get out, though.
Later,

Good article in the fisherman this week on the topic. 
I went out yesterday, got 6 bass to about 26" from shore. It was too nice out yesterday to stay home! |

Winter may not be all about schoolies.
There was a 50#er caught in the Thames yesterday.

I gave it a shot during the warm spell last week. Fish didn't cooperate.

the thames is the spot caught a 30 inch striper saturday and a a bunch of schoolies its my first year and i'm loving it. The striper in the pic is the fish. It was cold out there but it was fun catching fish in the dead of winter on light tackle.
