the dreaded time of year

Caught between the hard water and the opener of walleye in May is the worst time of year

So whats everyone gonna do with the idle time before we get the boats back out?
I`m taking the wife to Mexico for the first trip in 15yrs and will be perusing(sp) tackle shops when ever I get the chance to see whats new and pick up what I think I need for summer.
Atleast I have the kids play-off hockey left that will make the time fly

I`ll still check back here to see if anyone has been perch fishin`

This is a hard time of the year to sit at home and watch the clock go by but I did manange to redue our kitchen a pretty big renovation job. You can still fish for the splake which I'll will do this week up north in one of the lakes.

Good luck guys.
Splake is open all year on the lake my cottage is on. Have only been back once this year but tried for brookies instead. I usually hit the splake at ice out when they're still cruising the shoreline.

Splake for me back north, I'm all over them ( just like Oh, never mind)

Good one Kiss My Bass Fishin. :wink:

Well, a few lakes i fish end on the 31st of march, and they typically have lots of ice until then. Then there is the mudcats/crappie in april followed by turkey hunting . . . lots of ways to stay occupied!

Yes there are other places to fish ond chores to do.

No won mentioned going over your tackle for the open water season. Now is a good time to oil your reels, repair rods and put on fresh line. Why do so many people wait until the day before going out. Also make a list of things to do to the boat. Some thing can be done now. Oh for the guy at the launch ramp whose engine won't start.
