Almost ready.

Our local lakes are now about 80% ice free, so they will be fully open any day. Spent this weekend doing the outside spring cleanup of the yard, flower beds, deck, and so on. But I also kept getting ready to hit the lakes. New line on the reels tonight, and all the "ice out" lures I take are in their proper boxes. Now to get the trailer and boat ready. Not much to it as it's a john boat powered by a troller and a set of oars, but I need to get another oar before heading out as some how I lost one. Apparently coming home from the final trip of last season I am assuming. This guy is itching to get out! It's been a long winter.

Whoa, there Thorny.
Not so much room anymore. Too many people moving here already. If you like doing ANYTHING in cold weather, please stay there and enjoy your winters.

I've done some bass fishing in Florida on Lake Tarpon, launching from a park near Palm Harbor off Rt. 19. Had some memorable days fishing that lake with my dad many years ago.
