Icebreaker like old times?

[Toad]

That is awesome footage...only wish it was more extended than that. Practically a new language was formed that night. I still don't know what he was saying!

Sweet, I can't wait.

What are you bringing that's special Ronski? Really, you don't have to do that, just bring yourself, because YOU are special....let me rephrase that. You are "SPECIAL". But, you can fish, so I'll give you that. It's like those kids that can play beethoven on the piano, but still mess their shorts, kind of special.

I've got some lures ready to throw, can't wait to get out. Lotsa pounders. LOTSA pounders. My new goto bait. Can't wait to put the hammer down on them this year. I'll either throw that or my mini ss shad. I'll get em coming and going. More likely going, but I'll hope for better this year.

Hey John, are you gonna go for the early season topwater monkey's this year again? I'll bring my lure retreiver if you are.

Oops, I guess I didn't delete it.

Hey, lay off the monkeys, they put up a good fight!!

There is still ice on the lakes as of last night around 6pm. Not sure what the rain/wind (60mph gusts) did last night. There was about a 75 yard stretch on the other side of the tube that was open...but the ramp was locked up. I know this weather put a hurt on the lakes! The ice will get thinner even with the 30 degree temps. The reason it got so thick was because of the extreme cold temps. Remember...the water right underneath the ice is 33-35 degrees.

I am praying for another warm up. I think if we had 4 more days of this...they would open up.

Thanks for the update Vince. I'll be sniffing around down that way this weekend so I'll post what I find too. I'm praying for more rain, it's just not working!
Toad, it's nothing "special". Well, not as "special" as I am! Just something you'll get a kick out of!!
Let's all hope it's not another year like this...

And more like this...

Im back and thank you all for making me remember one of my finest momemts....Hey Toad did you get any of my Text messages? I do not care where or when we fish I do know that "SOME" of you just made the list....

[RonSki]

And what "list" would I be on now PGA??

[Toad]

I got your messages PGA...I think they were a lot later than when you sent them, but I got them. Thanks for the info buddy. Also, I hope you did some fishing down there!

And I had nothing to do with anything that you may or may not be referring to. For the record, I was in church that evening far away from those events, and as it just so happens, I was actually praying for the souls of you poor lost muskie men. And the big G spoke to me too, he said "Save it. I already gave you your big fish last year, and I'm not doing any more requests." So, looks like you guys are on your own.
