    Finally Got my Boat in the Water …..

    Late ice out and some crummy weather, but finally at the dock. Water was 51 at my dock. And the best part, discovered 1 bank on my 3 bank charger isn’t working and broke the tip on a spinning rod

    I’ll start chasing the bass tomorrow

    Sounds like you're getting the bad juju out of the way early. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you.

    Got to bow my head to you guys that live in that kind of cold. to the next day on the water being much better.

    Not sure I could handle not being in a boat that long. It was only February I wasn't on the water at least once.

    Make sure to sneak in a shore lunch or two while you’re there. That what we would do. Everybody breaks the law eventually. I miss that place like no other…..

    What's the biggest? Out of four trips there, our biggest was 5lbs even. We would go around this time or first week of June.

    That sounds like my old luck. I hope you get everything ready to go again and have a good year of fishing. I miss the heck out of it.
