limeyangler Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) I hate this time of year.....WAITING FOR THE ICE TO MELT!!!! My wife calls it my "talk to the lake season"....lol......its true....i talk to the lake willing it to melt.........is that wrong?, dont answer that...lol. Anyhoo, there is still probably good ice out there......in some spots, but i aint as brave/stupid at the end of the year as i am at the beginning, i just dont trust melting ice. I was gonna go for some lakers this afternoon, but after a quick trip to the bottom of the yard and a look at the ice, i was surprised to find it so far gone. Still obviously thick ice there, but a good 20 yards of really crappy ice around the margin changed my mind about heading onto a deep trout lake by myself......overcautious?...dont think you can be personally. I was further convinced when speaking to the gas pump attendant in town, he said his buddy went to Gullwing lake for lakers 3 days ago....fine going out on the 4 wheeler, but coming back 10' of open water where it had been solid(ish) that morning, had to just pin it down and scoot across apparently. Soooo......the watch and wait game begins.......... Was a beautiful morning here this morning THE WAIT BEGINS DEFINTELY NOT LONG NOW SPRING IS IN THE AIR Edited April 22, 2009 by limeyangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greencoachdog Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 It does the fish good not to see your tackle for a little while Simon, they need to forget what that hook thing is that stings them in the mouth when they bite it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 yes its a tough time of year. I hope to get the boat in the water soon for a test run, but then it likely won't get into the water again before mid june, or maybe even Lakair at the end of June.
