Is this the end of 2012 Fishing ?

[garlien]

I have to say, I have been with some real pros recently, some folks that knew areas that produced like the back of thier hand, and done my best to mix things up....Multiple lures, singles, tandems, umbrellas, your boat, my boat, his boat, 6 feet to 100 feet, and the fish just are not biting...Talked to a number of people today and everyone said the same thing I have been hearing for about 10 or more days....They see some fish, not much bait, and the fish just are not biting....

Not sure what might get me back out this year, it really was a black friday for me....5 to 6 hours and "0" fish....The last few trips I am working on over 24+ hours and more than 100 miles and no fish...

I know this is not a report about catching, but like I said to Scott today, maybe I should just tell people to stay home, maybe I am wrong, but the bite sure does seem like it is way, way off...I love fishing in the winter when I am catching something (well anything besides a cold) but trip after trip with no fish and only a cold to show for it.....

Hoping that someone out there has had better luck than me...Maybe we can live through your stories for the next 2 to 3 months...Looks like my reports are going to be on hold for a while....
