Re: yess it's time

I am putting the muffs on tomorrow then its to Tenn next week..Never thought I would miss the bugs splating off my face as I go across the lake or the faint wiff of an outhouse in the distance.Lets not forget the first curse word that comes out as you try and retreive your lure from a tree branch that is just out of arms length :D

As I place the tarp over the boats for the Summer, I hope you have a great time. I can relate to the anticipation each year. It's the same down south, just reversed....Too stinkin hot and buggy to go boatin in the sauna time!

Put the muffs to the Ebbtide today and it's off to Va. in the morning to be traded off to a Gambler and then it's off to Alabama next week and then up to Tn. to visit with gonfishn and bubbakat.

I motored across the lake a few times this weekend...on my snowmobile!! Still 18" inches of ice on the lake, rivers are just starting to thaw. I'm looking at at least another month before I get the boat out.

Re: yess it's time

The bay has thawed here, so have the canals, but its just still to darn cold to go out there!<br /><br />Water temps are still in the lower 40's, and one little mishap, and your in the drink, your chances of rescue are slim to none, even if it happens right in front of the Coast Gaurd Station!<br /><br />I'm not willing to take that kind of chance!

Watch out for the logs! Springtime runnoffs always produce it's share of floating junk.<br /><br />Early boating around here always proves to be hazardess to some. Hull, drive or prop damage. Have fun, just be cauteous.
