![Classic Practice Day was marked by cold temperatures in the 20s that forced anglers to bundle up, including Jacob Powroznik.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4270.jpg)
![The cold, though, didn’t mean the fish weren’t biting.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4284.jpg)
![This keeper was hooked by Powroznik,](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4294.jpg)
![And quickly brought to the boat.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4300.jpg)
![Just as quickly, it was unhooked.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4315.jpg)
![And posed with,](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4319.jpg)
![Then released back to Lake Hartwell.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4321.jpg)
![Most of the anglers assumed a familiar pose. Hunched over their electronics with rods angled down, looking for fish as Brett Hite is doing.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4361.jpg)
![All the anglers were bound, head to foot, in warm clothes.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4430.jpg)
![And most of them were looking more than casting.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4444.jpg)
![Chad Pipkens gives a look around before going back and focusing on his electronics.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4446.jpg)
![Long minutes of that were interspersed with idling around looking for more arches on their electronics.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4479.jpg)
![Not all anglers were focusing on ultra-deep water, though. Brett Preuett, the college contender, was found casting and moving.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4525.jpg)
![And other anglers, like Cliff Crochet, were running to and fro.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4550.jpg)
![Preuett, though, stayed relatively shallow casting.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4553.jpg)
![He shared the standard bundled up look.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4572.jpg)
![And covered water.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4597.jpg)
![Nearby, Brian Snowden assumes the standard position over his electronics.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4612.jpg)
![Many of the anglers focused more on what was taking place under their boat than what was in their hands.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4615.jpg)
![Snowden had a deck full of rods, ready for just about anything.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4633.jpg)
![The same was true for Andy Montgomery.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4648.jpg)
![And of course bundled up.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4687_0.jpg)
![He would occasionally pick up and make a long cast.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4710.jpg)
![The wind would pick up drastically and make casting a must.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4725.jpg)
![Seeing waves crash against boats started becoming common place by mid-morning with 20 mile per hour winds with heavy gusts.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4752.jpg)
![The strong winds made it difficult for those trying to focus on deep targets.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4766.jpg)
![It forced many anglers to get to the lee side of islands.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4787.jpg)
![And others, like Chris Lane, to hit docks.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4870_0.jpg)
![Casting and moving.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4883_0.jpg)
![Or going down banks where the hillsides were still covered in ice.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4924.jpg)
![And if you decided to move, the ride was rough through crashing waves](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4986.jpg)
![And over rollers.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_4987_0.jpg)
![And then back into the waves](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1IMG_5003.jpg)
