Bummer!

[Dan Thiem]

The switch has been made! The ice fishing has moved down and taken a back seat to open water. Oh well, time to move on and start to get the long poles ready.

I hope everyone had a sucsessfull hard water season and good luck this year on the open water.

Why aren't you out fishing? Get busy dude...the fish are watin on ya!

I noticed the change as I was scrolling through the forums Dan! Can't wait to get my boat ready and have it hit some of the local lakes. Hoping it will be the middle of April for me (us in Central MN)!

To bad the season had a late start to it (in regards to safe ice-driveable ice). Maybe next year it won't be that way?!

you think we will get ice by thanksgiving time. SWEET

The long poles and the boats...good time to clean out the mouse nests, and check to make sure everything is in order before taking it out on the water.

Danged rabbits seem to like chewing through wiring for the trailer lights? Noticed last fall when I drained lower unit that lubricant had the color and cosistancy of melted caramel...I'm taking the boat in on Tuesday to get lower unit seals redone before the rush begins. It will be water ready when the time comes.

I love ice fishing as much as the next guy, but with the SLOW winter I had, I'm ready to see open water!

Saturday was a sad day for me as the ice fishing gear was put away.

On a happier note, got the boat out on Sunday! The transition has been made.

[Down to Earth]

It's about time is what I say. Now I just need to get the yard raked and get out fishing.

Ya want to talk about a BUMMER....My buddy and I had a guided brown trout trip planned for tomorrow in Milwaukee on the river there, but all the rain they got yesterday turned the water brown, and the guide said it wasn't worth trying! Missed it by 3 days! Now I have to spend the weekend with the wife instead of my buddy! Talk about a bummer!
