I would get in if you try again. Wt just hit 35!!!!

If you pick your days and spots St Albans bay has a lot of options I use the kayak from the pier in the bay, the boat launch, and ether side of kilkare. It is great fishing all year and you can find a spot in most wind.

Had an hour or so. Hopped in the kayak got 3 smallies 2 18" and one at 21" water temp 47 or so.

I use this for my kayak and it works great. You might not need the GPS so you could save money and or get more res. or a color screen. Also the battery last for ever. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Boating/Boating-Electronics/Portable-Sonars-Flashers%7C/pc/104794380/c/104707080/sc/104510880/Eagle174-Cuda-350-SMap-SonarGPS-Portable-Sonar-Unit-Soft-Pack/701279.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fboating-boating-electronics-portable-sonars-flashers%2F_%2FN-1100522%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104510880%3FWTz_l%3DSBC%253BMMcat104794380%253Bcat104707080

Found 45 degree water on Saturday up north. Still no fish. Went to the pond to get a few yesterday.

Two days of breaking ice on Maquam shore. Let it rain!!!! cant wait.

We like the dry ride of our Si's we still have 2' of ice right now. And the weight works better for the kids and my girlfriend. You will enjoy and learn so much from the first few times. I thought i needed to upgrade right away but have put the money into gear and equipment witch has worked better for me.

Congrats

Welcome. Where do you primarily fish? I normally frequent North LC, Arrowhead, Lamoile and whatever ponds are around. Bring on the thaw!!!! St. Albans and up.

New to the forum but have kayaks and a canoe. Would love to share some good fishing with others.
