Larry has a good point. If you keep fishing all winter long then it's not really necessary to fog the engine yet.

This weekend it got pretty darn cold. I went over to the lake Saturday just to look around and see if anyone else was man enough to fish in this cold weather. I didn't see one boat on the lakes I fish. I guess everyone else was staying home and watching football on TV. I did see a few deer hunters and saw about ten does eating green grass out in the middle of this hillside. There were four of them and then off in the distance hiding in the taller grass I saw two or three more does. Just saw their heads sticking up at first. I must have watched them though my binoculars for 15 to 30 minutes. The ones in the field moved South and enter the taller dried grass. They stayed in a gully and moved all the way to the edge of the pit. I lost track of them when they bedded down in a small clump of trees. Then I saw three more off in the distance. They were also feeding in a small field of green grass near the edge of the water. This was all on the North end of Blue Grass Pit and they were all on the Eastern Shoreline. They were downhill and to the West of St John's road. In the area where the old crane was dismantled. I miss that old crane. It was such a landmark. Ugly but still a visible landmark. People still describe the area as where the old crane use to be! LOL I saw some more deer on my way home. Saw several crossing the roads. Also saw one deer carcaus on Heim road just to the East of Steven Station Road. It was lying in the ditch on the North side of Hiem road.

It was too cold to fish today. Only got up to about 30 deg F and there was a brisk 10 mph wind. I didn't even get out at all today. It's going to get back up into the 40's by next week. There will still be some nice 50 deg days this winter and I hope to fish if the winds not blowing too hard. I use to see more die hard cold weather fisherman at the pits but not as many this year.
