First Trip in 2008...Big Skunk!!!

I went down to the new spot I've been scoping out to fish today for a couple hours. No takers on frozen skippies or crawlers. Lost a lot of tackle to the Mighty Ohio though...I was fishing bottom only, forgot to take my Kat-Bobbers with me.
The water current was pretty slow and the water was way down. As far out as I could see good, It looked like the bottom was only 6-8" deep. I was fishing right beside of a feeder creek. I decided since the water level was so low I was casting out a pretty good distance out to deeper water to try to locate the cats.
I also used my ultra light and walked up the creek trying for something to use as bait. Nothing at all around but Ducks & Geese. I reckon its too cold. Not far from where I was fishing at the creek and the pool behind it was all iced up.
Here's some pics, Enjoy!
