Spring Open water Reports

No problems with the motor at all. Be lucky if it even has 5 hours on it. It will push along at 67 with me and my gear in it and I haven't done anything to it. I haven't seen Frankies but this one is a SX-185 basically a 18' 6". I'll give you a call in the next day or so. Hope all is going well up there by you.

Tight lines all,

Steve

Mines 19.6 and black where yours is red. I called your office today to talk boats . . .you had skipped. I followed your lead. Let's talk. Even though a 95, with the rebuilt engine I can still get her up to 67 too.

Well the batteries are on charge and will get installed tomorrow night. Hoping like heck I can get on West Point a hit the Ice out perch and Crappies. I need to make sure the boats are all set for the Brown trout and Waldo excursions. Bring on the softwater for me!!!

Got my "Laser Rod" ready with a new reel and fresh batteries. Yeah, it's a real laser built into the rod to act as a strike indicator in low light or dark. A custom builder and friend builds and holds the patent. Not sure if it's ok to post the link here.

Time to get my OLD outboard tuned up. OLD = a 1952 Johnson 5.5hp. Original and runs great. Maybe I should sell her to a collector and get a new 4 stroke for the canoe. No idea what she'd be worth.

Can't help it, I hate to see the ice go. Just love fishin' the ice!
