Thanks, sure was a fun day!

Thats right. The Honey Hole is frozen now, maybe by late January I can get some ice fishing in.

@MikeFosterOutdoors it be good time chilling right love it mfo happy holiday's

The little boat feels like going back in time honestly.

I agree. Its pretty fun going from my big glass boat that is loaded with graphs and tech to the 15’ aluminum boat with a 4” lowrance graph 😂

@MikeFosterOutdoors the tournaments i have fished there look like it's off shore brush piles deep that the have won off of.

Dang I was planning to do a tourney at some point. I may have to add a graph up front for that.

I know it, guess when it shuts down I will have to drive to lake of Egypt. I keep hoping they don’t shut it down but I heard the plant sight will turn into solar panel fields.

1 bass pic he sent fat rap craw

Ya ...have to be a Circus Clown to fish against these guys Is why I retired and left my clown outfit at Raccoon lake Lol

Jerry we talked to him today. He said that the caught quite a few on rattle traps.

@MikeFosterOutdoors I've not heard from Chase That much Glad it's all Safe fishing

Jerry shame on Chase, the first person I called after fishing trips was my Grandpa. I sure miss him.

I have seen it and you are correct, pretty cool to see. Thanks for stopping by Dave!

Thank you! They were sure chewing that day!

Good Grief it was a fun trip. Thanks Gabe!

Thanks!

Thanks Joe. That lake is alot of fun some days.

Thanks. That warm power plant water is special.

Hoping to do the same or better tomorrow. 🤞🏻

@@MikeFosterOutdoors go get'm weather is gana be nice

I use a 5/0 EWG hook for the 4.5 bigger tubes and 4/0 for smaller tubes and teardrop style head

Kevin you got that right. It took every ounce of my being to do it. We wanted to get home before dark because the roads got slick that afternoon. Thanks for stopping by.

Both fun lakes at times. Hopefully tomorrow will be even better. Thanks for stopping by!

Enough action to keep us warm 😂

@MikeFosterOutdoors 😂

You can call the newton lake recreation office and sometimes someone will answer. I have left a message and they do call back.

Bill its almost always 20 pound. Thanks

@@MikeFosterOutdoors thanks Mike can’t wait to see the next video

I hope she is running. 🤞🏻

@@MikeFosterOutdoors Quick question: On your Newton winter videos (maybe you consider this trip late late fall?), you have caught them on squarebills, tubes, chatterbaits and A-Rigs. Do you fish flat-sided cranks or regular squarebills? Are you fishing chatterbaits and A-Rigs when the water temp gets a little colder? Interested if your bait choice is water temp dependent or based on something else. Hoping to get to Newton on the 16-17th of this month.

Brett I normally use the regular squarebills when the water is 58 or warmer, if colder than that I will switch up to flatside. I always throw a chatterbait some to keep it honest because somedays they will just chew that thing. Spinnerbaits slow rolled around the laydowns is another great bite. The times I have caught them on an arig was just tossing it around laydowns as well, its pretty cool to see them come up and chew that thing off of a laydown. The bigger fish normally come from the water temps that are below 60 for me. The main factors for them to bite good is if the plant is running and the weather is sloppy. I hope this helps and best of luck on your trip over.

@@MikeFosterOutdoors Thank you Mike!

No, it’s closed until February now. There sure are some big ones down there.

I hear they got a lot of catfish. I used to fish it back when it was 100+ fish a day. Good times

@rangerbull I never got to fish it back then. Only heard the awesome stories of when it had grass.

@ well I’m 77 so remember those days well

Water was 52 at the ramp and 67 on the north end. We just stayed on the warm side. Thanks for stopping by!

Was crazy to fish in snow, fog and 67 degree water 😂. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks Carol, hopefully the net is needed this Monday. Happy Holidays.

Haha, I will be back next Friday.

Myron no and I have fished some single digit days. Might be because I practically free spool my reels. Our biggest issue the other day was fighting the level wind freezing solid.

⁠@@MikeFosterOutdoors when I use to fish Coffeen in the winter and it was real cold I used some old Ambassador 5600 reels. The line guide is much bigger in those and they didn’t freeze up. I picked a few up from EBay and keep those handy for low temp days

What impressive catches on a very cold day. Thanks for sharing your experience in the “Tin Fury”

@@tharris4718 myself and Dustin have both have had issues twitching a bait and the real just let's lose then we are picking backlash out lol

@tharris4718 thanks. That little boat is refreshing, no depth finders, no fancy gadgets just you and the fish. Thanks for stopping by.

We had a fun time. We are headed back this coming Monday. Thanks for stopping by man channel!

Thanks Jerry

Ice fish video yes​@@MikeFosterOutdoors

Jerry if the ice gets thick enough I will be out there after those big Gills and Crappie.

​@MikeFosterOutdooas as long as that pond produces good zoo planton it should be slabs

Thank ya! Crappie fishing is one of my favorites in the fall at that lake. I should have some winter powerplant lake fishing coming soon. Thanks for stopping by!

Don I like the way you think. Its a special lake for sure.

Thanks Don. Hope you have been doing well and getting some Crappie.

Good time for sure. There are some even bigger Crappie in there but they didn’t want to play on this trip. Thanks for stopping by!

Amen to that. We don’t want to play that game again lol. Seats are attached well these days 😂

Nothing like a good trip to get some dandy fillets. Ultralights are so fun. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks. That lake is special for its giant Crappie.

That sounds like a great idea, thanks for the tip!

Thank ya Benjamin. I sure love Crappie on an Ultralight. Thanks for stopping by!

You got that right. I am considering braving the wind and cold temps in the morning for a solo trip before work. Thanks for dropping by Gabe!

Thank you! I love fall Crappie fishing. Thanks for stopping by!

@MikeFosterOutdoors yes the fall bite is amazing! It's cold but fun!! 💯🐟

Hi Phil, we had a fun trip. That lake has some big Crappie in it. Thanks for stopping by.

They are sure fun on an ultralight. Thanks for stopping by Doug!

Thanks Bill. That lake is so fun with an ultralight.

Dennis it doesn’t, and you can fold it up from the back towards the front as well if you needed to get to motor.

Sounds like a good bait.

@@MikeFosterOutdoors jack won so many tournaments Smokey Joe crankbait.. 1999 - 2005

Derek it tricks some big ones for sure. Some of the best fish of the year come in cold water on jerkbaits, thanks for stopping by man!

Good video. What brand of line do you use

Bill I have used Seaguar Red Label for years now. It has been great line. Thanks for stopping by!

I'll be trying it soon!

@davepleus7945 Dave it will get bit. Sometimes you have to change cadence of retrieve to see what they want.

Jesse mine was one piece. I was always surprised it was a single axle trailer too. Thanks for stopping by.

Deep shoreline ledges

The size of Mike's bass I swear I never open water swim a lake again Lol

Because I've seen people swimming then all of a Sudden One big GULP And They was Gone Had to be a huge bass got that Open water Swimmer Without a Doubt

Stop in sometime Friday night Raceway Bar 8pm karoke
