Willow Beach 12/30/12 - 1/1/13 - ihuntforfish - 01-02-2013
My buddy Bryan and I decided to start making willow runs regularly--we went out on 12/30 and tonight, 1/1/13. The first night we headed out, there were a lot of giants crashing around us but no hook ups, just beer--went back out tonight at 6:30 staying out till 3:00am, landed a nice striper on a bbz 1 trout imitation by spro, I needed that fight from a willow striper! My night is fulfilled. We'll be heading back out tomorrow hopefully with some real fish

[cool]Way to bring in the new year! Were you fishing from a boat or at the pier? I'll be heading that way soon.

Nice! Looks like you're on a kayak? Way to put the time in.

From a boat, I have a couple kayaks that we mounted trolling motors to and just drifted up and down the hatchery and narrows, such a great night!
Whizzle: That's what its all about up there! Putting in the time. I caught this RIGHT as the moon came up, it was pitch black until some light shone down and he crashed it about 20 feet from my kayak

Nice work man. It is so damn cold out there but obviously worth it the bbz is a solid bait.

yeah man the first night we were there it kept feeling like it was below 0, us vegas babies are pampered weather-wise lol but the second night i dressed in ridiculous layers--thermals, wool socks, boots, under armor, short sleeve, long sleeve, hoodie, carhartt jacket, fishing gloves, beanie, bandana.........then I was warm hahah

Right. I call it my "Ralphie" gear.... like the kid from A Christmas Story, haha. Double layered thermals, sweats, jeans/t-shirt, snow jacket and waders, and of course beanie and gloves. It's a pain when you have to relieve yourself but it is warm for sure!
