Passed again today. Barometer at 30.60, blue bird skies, NW wind, 23* when I went out for my walk this morning.. didn’t break 40 till after noon.

The weather is just against me at the moment…..but…..at least I know it.

Time is on my side.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

fun to  catch  , spearing them  was the way to get them  but thats  not allowed in any  lake ontario tribs any  more
  My favorite hole was found one night while we were shooting carp. Could not believe what I was seeing. Just wish this cursed wind would stop.  Installed new LED tail lights on the trailer today. No more messing with light bulbs and rotten sockets at 1:00am  Never   Got my fingers crossed for this week

Wish I could get a pair of magnetic Bluetooth lights to stick on all my crappy trailers and my friends. Seems I re wired 100 by now.

Pulled my hair out over a ground issue this morning. Turns out the tongue and main frame of the trailer are two separate units bolted together. Apparently rust between them formed disrupting the ground to the  back. A couple of self tapping screws and 10" of wire and we jumped the bad area.

Happens all the time on snowmobile trailers Jerry.
So long time ago I started run a separate ground wire to every light on all my trailers.
No problems since.

Got-em   Last night was possibly one of the nicest nights that I have been on the water.  No wind, no rain, no bugs, no moon, only me and a few whisker fish that obligingly took  the hook line and sinker. It was a great way to start the season. I went prepared with several baits and as before, the cut up raw shrimp out fished the night crawlers and liver as well, 3 to 1. When you buy a bag of 30 shrimp for $7 and cut them into 3 pieces giving you 90 baits that ends up being less that $1 a dozen for the best bullhead bait around. Don't think I'll be messing with worms any more. The shrimp is also tough on the hook allowing you to catch more than 1 on a bait.
    Get out there guys  It's time !

In New Hampshire our regulation on White and Yellow Perch, Crappie, Sunfish, Bluegill and Horned Pout (Bullheads) has a daily limit of 25 for each species with a total of all species listed of 50 per day.

The reason for the limit is to help reduce catching the listed fish and selling them out of state.
