I really hate to see the ice end. I guess I still could go ice fishen, but I lose interest when I see water on top. I'm going to start to put my boat back together soon. One of the first thing's I got to do is get another moter. I guess I'm going to a jet this year. I do spend most of my time on the river. The one change I'm maken is I'm going to spend more time on panfish this year.
  This is the worst time of the year for me, no ice, river is high & dirty, What ice there is you cant go on it. I hate March. I see the geese are moving north,I heard some gobblen going on,   Come on spring

I bought a new 5hp Briggs for this year.  I've got a jack plate and prop guard on order for it.  I can't wait to start running the rivers this year!  Never been a boat fisherman before,  but this year I'm getting away from the river bank!

ASHVILLE BAY???  If anyone could let me know when the marina down in Ashville opens up for fishing I'd appreciate it if you let me know.  I have an hour drive and just want to make sure what I'm in for before heading there.  Thanks
