Hey Maxx, I am convinced the lake will be ice covered next week yet even though we are going to be around 70 degrees all week. Have you done a drive by after your most recent blizzard ??? If so, any news on what the Flowage looks like ??? This will be the first opener I have not been able to get out on the lake. Really getting anxious to get out there and do some jigging for those golden beauties. We will be coming up on friday regardless and fish however I can. Hope to see you on the water. You stay thirsty also my fiend. (Fishin Machine says Hi)
