Ice Out Pike From Shore...good to go by Monday

[limeyangler]

Hi All,

 

Well, it sees like ages but its only just over 2 weeks since i was fishing, ice out on our lake was not complete untill May 10 last year.....but like they say "a watched pot never boils" or should i say A watched lake never melts....lol.

 

 

Its pretty good though now, although its been pretty cold here the last week....was snowing last 3 days....wind and temps are due to be up these nextfew days and that means i reckon i'll have enough water to shore fish for some big pike by monday.

 

 

 

ITS GOING!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've still got work to do getting the boat ready, parts ordered etc...etc...so its kinda good the ice is there....otherwise the temptation to set sail before i was shipshape would be too great.

 

I'm even preping the wee lad for his maiden voyage....got him a mini PFD yesterday, lol....he was not too sure at first...but he had a goofy grin on his face by the end of the fitting

 

 

 

 

 

BORN TO FISH!

Glad to see your starting to get some soft water Simon. And WTG on the PFD those pics are great

 

You should have enough time before ice out to rig up a car seat in the boat

That is real good news Simon

The ice looks thin now with being real dark on top and won't be long until you'll be able to sail on soft water!!!

 

I know that you've been itching for some time now and can't wait to see your first report this soft water season.

 

Keep us posted of the ice condition
