My first trip was to Traverse City MI this past weekend, for a job interview. I saw someone with their SUV parked out on a large lake in Kalkaska. They were ice fishing.

Don't know guys. That weather forecast is not looking too good right now.<br />Thunder storms and heavy rain plus lots of wind.<br />I will hold off till tonight before I make my decision whether to make it or not.<br /><br />Just don't like the idea of making the trip for maybe one day of fishing, and spinner don't do rain if it's at all possible.<br /><br />If I show up, you will know, just look at the ramp and see if the blue Dodge or silver Jeep GC is sitting there hooked to a Gambler trailer.

Re: 1st trip Of year

It was a great trip..Spinner should never listen to the weatherman..It was in the 60s and 70s..perfect fishn weather...I guees you can say your old if a possibility of rain can stop ya from fishn<br /><br />No gators but let me tell ya bubbas wife can really put the feed bag on..Everything was cooked over the fire. Eggs,bacon.sausage and some right on biscuits in the morning. I could go on but the dinners were even better. We sat around the fire with bubbas new firering and talked about everyone here on iboats :D :D <br /><br />Nothing more to add on the the details cause we will never tell..As usual Bubba I had a great time and look forward doing it again next year..

Re: 1st trip Of year

Glad you guys had a fun trip. <br /><br /><br />I'm taking the boat out first time tommorow. The river has melted & it's supposed to get in the 60's for the first time this year in Indiana.<br /><br />I'm actually nervous about the trip though. First time using an outboard. 1st trip out with my new (used) 60 Merc. <br />SBN's been a great help though, walking me through the do's & do not do's. :D

<br /><br />This is called the blue whole. It is the spawning ground for walleye and is loaded with bass and crappie.<br />Look who the pilot is and ain't that scarey.<br /><br />Jeff we are looking forward to the next time.<br />Kayla really to a liking to you.
