Grand Lake St Marys got our first frost of the year and also had 29F.  Vexilar batteries are charged and ready to go.  This will probably jinx the season.

I haven't organized my gear yet, probably sometime in November.....

All my batteries are charged, but no gear is organized.  Auger was started and tested, but the addition of a bunch of lures and rod/reel combos means I have to reorganize everything and I haven’t gotten there yet.  Hopefully over thanksgiving weekend or it’ll be a crazy winter fishing out of plastic giant eagle bags!

The Friday, November 10, 2017 forecast looks good for the Grand Lake St. Marys area - low of 23 and high of 34.  Get that water cooled down so we can start walking on top!
