First Time Out next Weekend

#1 Post by bobalong » Sat May 11, 2013 9:02 pm

Looks like the ice is off most of the lakes, at least the one I am going to. I have to put the batteries in the Pontoon tomorrow and it will be ready to go. Picked up some new digs on Friday,packed it today. Suppose to be plus 20 all next weekend, and my grandkids are coming along............life is good.

For those of us who are "metrically challenged", that's upper 60's to lower 70's, so bobalong hasn't taken leave of his senses. Although, living in Edmonton, Alberta has to be one of the qualifiers <G>.

Thanks for the qualifier, damn metric stuff can be a PIA sometime.

Had a great weekend, a couple small showers but overall the weather was nice. The fish were not that big, but the smiles were, mine anyway. The new rig worked well, looking forward to more trips this summer. Now its time to chase some walleye!

Looks like everyone really enjoyed themselves.... question for you... did you use your motor home at the launch to back the boat down and to load back onto the trailer? That would be cool to see..... thanks for sharing the pics.

I unloaded and loaded it one day, and then the cousin came down and we used his truck.
