Skindog, you must be one of the toughest S.O.B.’s on the lake. When it is cold and wet I dream of a windshield and wheel but once I get to where I am going I am glad I have the tiller. Come to think of it, when it is cold and wet I dream….back to reallity.

Brrrr…chilly evening good luck and be careful!

We made it off the lake around 9:30, early yep have to do that thing called work.
It was actually a pretty nice night out there if you were dressed for it, I was going to take some pics but I couldn’t figure out how to put the batteries in my camera. (they were dead).
all in all being on the lake was a treat we managed one bonus fish and that made it even better, but she was sloooooooooow. I talked to a few others and they didn’t have much success neither, maybe they would have got going later on inthe evening between the hours of 1 and 4.
The most important part of this post will be Water Temps 49 Wow that sure cooled off quick.
another nice thing about last night there wasn’t much boat traffic.
Well we may hit it again tonight, same place same time.

Not a nice night to be out.

We lost a couple fish before finally landing one. A nice one, 27 inches, but that was the only one for the night.

We gave up and went in at 10:45.

Nice fish skindog. Bet she was a dirty cold SOB last night. Once it stabilizes a little, it should be pig time!

My buddy Marks personal best. He was pretty excited.

Rick,

Did you see the car that launched into the lake in Wigwam bay?

It was about 60 – 80 yards from the road.

Poor bastar*ds!

Due to the price of aluminum and Lund wanting to hang black on the back I am forced to go glass.I am waiting till the boat show as that is when they ad some incentives like rebates and extended warrantys on the motors.My neighbor at the lake Just bought one of these this year and I took it for a ride and I have to say it is one sweet boat.Ill have a nice tyee for sale in the spring.
