Sounds nice.  I haven't wet a line since ice off.  Planning on tricking out the shanty a little with some LED lights.  Planning on getting my boat in the water a little this summer... Have to pay all the fees and get a trailer plate.  Rebuilt the lower.  Have to get a battery and go over the electrical system and replace the transducer my dog ate.

Good luck at Erie.

I agree with you john.  Taking today off to do some things around the house.

Mid lake is still sketchy, but is totally locked up.  Bays are fishable, but I still spud just to make sure.  I'm planning on spudding the main body off of the cemetery on Wednesday afternoon and planning on my first walleye trip of the season.

I'm going to go check later today, might even fish if the ice is good.  I'lll let you know what I find.

Went out to Mosquito.  Main lake body still open with waves.  If there's no wind tonight, it may sheet over and begin to build.  I'm thinking Sunday at the earliest for fishing.  Checked a few bays, some had 1" and less, one had 1.5".  Maybe Friday.

I'm going to go check tomorrow John.  I'll post what I find

I'd be interested.

Lakemaster chip for the Humminbird.  Have an older Navionics chip.  Can compare both and see which works better.  Just need ice.  Weather forecast looks good, but it's gonna take a while to cool off all this rain.
