Good deal....I worked hard for some channel cats Sunday while out with my grandsons.....my water was 43 degrees and it sounds like yours was even lower than that with skim ice near the shore!

Ended up getting 2 largemouths in a pond, night crawlers, under a float, first fish of the year, and on my newest rod

May take me a bit I sprained my ankle

My buddy popped 2 dozen panfish the other day from the bank...crappies to 13, yellow perch to 12...yeah, it could happen!

I hear you Derrick....if anybody can show me a 6 pound plus Largemouth in North Carolina in January, I know you can! 

Nice effort Jason.....I applaud your determination.....days like that separate the pack....I'm convinced we would get along great because of traits like this. Keep the faith and your efforts will be realized.....These are the toughest times of the year for North Carolina anglers targeting Gills. My best advice is to go very small with baits and floats, you already have the patience required.

I just got off the water, ice on the surface about ten feet out from the bank in lots of places, felt weird in the yak, lol, was looking for maybe some perch or really anything, used night crawlers and a lipless crank, never got a bit, fished about three hours
Comment by Derrick Bustle on January 8, 2013 at 10:02am

Its gonna move Bass up in about 3-5 ft of water in my fishing hole. I hope to get out and maybe if I'm lucky catch one over 6lbs this weekend.

Get set for moderation of temperatures in North Carolina....the next ten days is promising air temperatures in high 60s and into the 70s for consecutive days. This could spark a little wave of fish activity which have not been pushed to total hibernation by our relatively mild winter to date. Water temperatures on the Pasquotank river near Elizabeth City sit at 43 to 46 degrees but they will rebound in coming days with the weather patterns ahead. The Yellow Perch spawn is just weeks away and should supply some fun and tasty eating to those taking interest in the Racoon Perch. We sit here today only 80 days from Good Friday with some uncertainty about the remaining winter and what it holds but either way we are staring down another great panfish season in 2013.  Good Luck to you all.......

Welcome Jason and hopefully this group forum may help you out Fishing North Carolina Style...Look forward to your input and photos here also.....We have a large and diverse state but it would be awesome to get a few folks from every corner talking about their region and sharing ideas with the group....
