Comments:

The last time I was out fishing, which was just a few days ago the air temperature was 73 and the water temperature was 64 degrees; what a change! The conditions were terrible, we had snow on the ground and I had to shovel the snow out of the boat before I went out. I was really not too excited to fish, but I had a scheduled trip on Saturday and I wanted to see if it was possible to catch fish or if I should cancel the trip.
It was very cold and the water was very cold, and I did not catch any fish. I contacted my client and we both agreed to postpone the trip for another day when the water would be warmer. I wanted to take them out, but I wanted them to have a chance at catching fish more.

Observations:

We had about two inches of snow on the ground. Fishing was miserable, but the scenery was awesome. The Minnesota bluffs were snow covered and looked just magnificent, and waterfowl and birds were everywhere. Of course I was the only one out of the boat landing, but that added to the beauty!
