Where are you located? Would a camper run and setup then a boat run work. A couple of friends of mine did that for years. I was fortunate in that my wife could pull the boat while I pulled the 5th wheeler.
Interesting. I didn’t know that Tim was still around. I haven’t seen him in years, since I had one of his boats on consignment.
I’ll bring some next time we go and you can show me how to catch fish on them.
I have one of them. I didn’t even bother to get it out. It only works on dry snow and then it gets all over me. I am going to let it leave the same way it came.
It is 0° here now with a bad wind chill. The good part is we did not get the 10-14” of predicted snow. We probably got around 4” but there are some good sized drifts.
I too am so ready to get back on the water. In the meantime I’m getting ready for the next few days. I’m putting 150 seasoned sticks of wood in the garage. That should last 8-10 days and hopefully we’ll be snow free by then.
I guess I should have been more explanatory about the baits. What I was aiming at was something along the line of molded plastics (flukes, tubes, trailers, craws, swim baits, etc). I’m not really interested in a jig swap. I have two lifetime supplies of them.
Marty I used to start all kinds of plants out there when I had about 4,000 sq ft of garden but I am down to some asparagus and 5 tomato plants. When I worked in Springfield I had south facing windows in my office and grew tomatoes during the winter.
I’m not liking it but I can make do as long as I don’t have to get out often. I have wood heat in the sun room. When I checked it at 01:30 it was 96° on the sun porch where the stove is setting. It is 85° out there right now.
Jeff met me at 07:00 this morning. We went to the good swim bait spot and caught some nice keeper and close to keeper spots on swim baits. We worked our way up river and picked up a few more. We wound up catching 6 each and had 4 keepers. Most of the fish were caught on Keitech swim baits in 15-25 fow. It was a beautiful breezy day. The temp ranged from 39° to 75°. The water was from 40° to 46°. It looked like a Saturday in May with boats everywhere. There were 26 rigs on the lots and I met 8 more on the way home.
