Tick Tock Tick Tock

Only 1 or 2 more days before many of us leave town for the walleye opener.

I've had my boat out several times this year but finally took a little time today to get my walleye gear ready ---- respooled a few reels, tied on a few jigs, checked my cranks and plastics, etc. Felt good to be looking at the walleye gear again.

I'm getting anxious and am hoping to leave town on Thursday night. Anyone else already got their mind on the lake and not on business at home

Here's wishing you all a happy and safe fishing opener!

I just finished re-spooling 6 reels. Boat is finally all buttoned up and ready. Batteries charged, bearings greased.

Unfortunately I will be working Thurs and Fri, but will hopefully get the line wet 2 or 3 times on Saturday. I've been a little distracted all week.

It's a long season that officially begins Saturday. Other than the usual anticipation, it's just another day on the water for myself and clients this weekend.

Good luck to all!

My mind has been elsewhere since the ice went out. I am getting more excited by the second. Might have a hard time sleeping friday night.......

A few years ago my first trip of the year was on Lake Erie --- right after we got to our first spot I was laying on my back under the console trying to trace wires to find out why the GPS crapped out. It was really wavey, we couldn't see shore, and I thought I was going to be seasick. Not fun. It turned out that a simple fix by the battery solved the GPS problem but it took 20 minutes to figure that out Not a great way to start the trip

Every year it's the same thing for me, Does anyone think I may be a "procrastinator"?
