    Who’s going out?

    This guy is on Sunday! Temps in the 60’s and lakes are thawing fast. Don’t expect any bites but want to play with my new mega live and mega 360

    Everything I’ve seen In sw Iowa is still locked up, some of the farm ponds and little lakes might get 1/2 open Sunday??? But next week looks really cold so things will probably freeze back up. With that said the rock quarry in Atlantic was 1/3ish open last weekend, they have a few hundred geese keeping it open Lol. This is the quarry right by the road that you can’t get a boat in though.

    Slowly, I went back to the southern Neb lake that I fished two weeks ago and it iced over again. Think we are going to try tomorrow

    The too ponds I looked at tonight on my way home from work were 100% open. I’m going to look at a few more tomorrow after work and make a couple calls about a couple lakes. Hopefully I’ll get on the water this weekend!!!

    How is that mega live? Do you like the forward facing so hard? I have been wanting it for awhile.
