Rizzo Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Thanks to all the tips I got here the boat was nicely winterized and in position for its first winter outdoors, even pulled one of the wheels off...until I got a call requesting one more musky attempt. How do you turn that down? Pulling it out of retirement for one last shot at it tomorrow.
EC1 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Good Luck! Just know that people that don't fish will think you're crazy! Last night, I was pulled over by a cop while driving (Because I u-turned when I saw him - I wasn't running, but turning around because of the frozen over lakes I saw) and he saw the canoe on my car and thought I was a little nuts too!

Skipper D Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Today would have been a great day on Simcoe. Is it tomorrow thats going to 51.F , its going to be awful tempting if it dose .
Skipper D Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 They probably meant BOOTS! Boots Ahoy! ..... it don't matter ........
Rizzo Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Posted December 14, 2011 Batteries are charging, tarps are off, all the rods/lures/trolling motor are out of the attic, email sent to the boss...its a go! I recommend anyone else thinking of it to go for it! Thursday looks warmer but really rainy so we opted for tomorrow. Put the wheel back on in the am, batteries in the boat, drag it out of the yard and away we go.

RickOnt Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Hey Rizzo Hope you get the 'Big' Guy!! Rick
spinnerbaitking Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Hospital tomorrow & hopefully boat out Thursday or Friday SBK
Sinker Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 My boat is also hooked up and ready to go for the morning. A different kind of hunting though, no fish involved Good luck on a December musky! S.
bubbles Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 I saw 4 boats launching in Lake St. Clair yesterday. I imagine there were quite a few more at the more popular launches....... I was leaving for work and quite jealous.
Rizzo Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Posted December 14, 2011 ...it was worth it. Ice at the launch was an inch and a quarter thick, broke a light on the trailer, took half an hour of smashing ice with an anchor on a rope to get to open water but it was still worth it...photo to come later, have to get ready for company Christmas party
Skipper D Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Way ta go Rizzo , awsome , we'll be back for the pic show .
lew Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Atta boy Roger, hope you beat the biggun from your last trip.
misfish Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 have to get ready for company Christmas party That made me lmao Rog. Look forward to the pics.
mercman Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Oh No !!! Not another tail light I still have that set for ya if you want.
Rizzo Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Posted December 15, 2011 I wish I had beat the last one Lew but it was not to be. We caught this one and lost another. Not the biggest fish out there but to be catching any musky on December 14 is good in my books. Now to "re-winterize" the boat before someone calls me about fishing tomorrow!
Rizzo Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Posted December 15, 2011 Oh No !!! Not another tail lightPosted Image I still have that set for ya if you want ...trust me, I thought of you right away! Because my buddy convinced me to get the boat out, and then convinced me to break the ice by backing in, he has graciously offered to purchase a new set and install them for me Saturday when I put the boat back to bed! Thank you again for the offer though. If he doesn't come through for me Saturday I'll be in touch
