Jboggey very good to see you over on the soft side I enjoy reading your post glad you are back have a good safe season and know a bunch of us will be reading your post
Thanks guys, Yup, I am going batty just like the rest of you. Waiting for open water. The worst of all worlds. I can't ice fish and I don't have any open water to access. I have kept myself busy retrofitting the new (used) Sea Ray and turning it into a bonafide fishing boat. I removed the bow rails and the bow cushions and replacing them with a 3/4" marine plywood platform and then mounting a pedestal and folding seat in the middle. I am on the hunt for a used electric trolling motor with a foot pedal. Don't dare to push Sweeta-Rita too hard to get a brand new one. haha. I will take pictures and have my bud carcajou post them for me .
I think that ice will be gone by the weekend. Hopefully they set the nets early next week.
Thanks for that report Chez....Freddie and I were thinking about a trip that way soon. 😉😎
