Cold Weather This Weekend

[Walleye #1]

What do you think the cold weather will do to the fishing this weekend??

Coming up on Saturday, hope to catch some eyes or whatever wants to bite.

I've been watching the weather for the past week, and praying to Paul Douglas for good weather this weekend! Up until yesterday they were forecasting temps in the 20's... now I see that the high is -4 on saturday. Bummer... hopefully the bite doesn't completely shut off!

Cold is one thing, but maybe more important what are the wind speeds suppose to be like this weekend? Don't want my portable to become a sail boat with me in it. I'm getting to old to take those kind of joy rides.

22 mph wind from the west according to weather.com

Pray for stable or falling pressure also.

If you are depending on Paul you are in trouble. Do you know of anyone who can be right 50% of the time or less and still have a job?? I have had fishing success during cold front conditions and poor success during ideal conditions but I have never had a bad trip - it's what you make of it. It all depends if the crappie gods are smiling on you or not.

Looks like -15 with a 25mph wind Sat. night. So what does that make the wind chill. I've had a sleeper planned out for 2 mths now for the wife 2 small boys and myself. I've fished in that weather before but my wife says I'm nuts if I think I'm bringing them onto the ice Sat. I've got to convince her quick or I'm going to be fishing alone.

it would be -44 with a 25 mph wind with the temp being -15.most sleepers these days r very warm.i have brought my family out on the ice during cold snaps like this.

With the wind chill calculations I found on line.........it looks like -44 Ran Better bring an extra heater or three

I was up three weeks ago with my wife and two boys it was her first trip and we had -20 to -24 at night with -44 wind chills managed to catch some fish and it was nice and warm in the sleeper. She is already talking about next year. If you cant convince her I bet you wouldnt have too much trouble finding some buddys to go fishing alone in solitude doesnt sound all that bad either good luck.

You can still catch fish in that weather. I did it 3 times last year on red and never moved from the sleeper to do it. The sleepers are always nice and warm.
