Yikes! You guys stay safe up there!

Just got home, looked out the back window, and...... ICE OUT! I’m going fishing. Actually the wind is blowing 25-30 and we had a 20* temperature swing in the wrong direction so I’ll just look out the window from the warmth of my house. P.S. it’ll be froze again by this time tomorrow.

I see you’re taking my advice. I told you, you’d feel better.

Interesting, I never knew that.

We’re going from 50* and rain as we speak to 4-7” on snow by Tuesday morning. On the brighter side of things the “flu” I thought I had doesn’t appear to be the flu because it’s on it’s way out. As soon as I started to feel a little off Thursday night my wife made me take a couple shots of elderberry she picked up. She just read about it and had me try it. She’s just now after a week (She didn’t take it soon enough to help her) starting to get back to herself, it’s only been 2 days for me, so I’ll choke that stuff down. It’s expensive but worth it.

And in typical Lions fashion they blow a 4th quarter lead. BTW they have the most blown 4th quarter leads since 2018.

With all these warm sunny days, and this rain I can not believe there is still ice all over. There must’ve been a lot more ice than I thought.

Scoreboard buddy! ?

This subject has come up several times recently on here. If you do a little searching you’ll find some good info. Educate yourself on what the features are and how they work. Go to a store and play around with the display models.

I wonder if we can get another one by the end of the decade?

Don’t hold anything back, let it all out you’ll feel better.

I’ve sweated through my cloths the past 24 hours too....because of the flu. The wife got it a week ago and still isn’t 100%. My son got it 2 weeks ago.

For the Great Lakes, coastal waters, and the big southern impoundments I think it would absolutely be beneficial. The small inland lakes on Michigan not so much. I doubt it’s even available on small lakes.

Looks like he did a good job. Skin mount I’m assuming?

Where’s your ACME sign? ? @Bluebasser86 is referring to a coyote. Wile E Coyote. The swimbaits get more and more realistic every year!

The 73 and 93 are the inland waterways. Sending you a PM.

And to think I get nervous crossing the wake from a wake boat. ?

I was wondering if you were stationed in the area during that time. I couldn’t imagine being in angry water like that. The men and women of the USCG are some brave souls that’s for sure!

Hopefully his wife isn’t reading this! ?

There’s no doubt in my mind we’ll pay for this weather in the coming weeks or months. It kind of reminds me of one of the final scenes in the movie The Perfect Storm (the movie about the Gloucester boat Andrea Gale). They battle the storm then the seas calm, the sun peaks out, the deckhand thinks they’ve made it but the captain knows they’re not so lucky.

The sun is shining, it’s 48*, there’s no snow on the ground, what could I possibly complain about? There’s still ice on the lakes! It’s pure torture! If we canN’t fish I think I’d prefer the norm, cold, snow, and no sun.

I used to live in Greenville just north of Wabasis. We moved last January north of Greenville to a private lake. Now I fish my lake and the others right next to me (Clifford, Dickerson, Derby, Nevins) they’re all less than five minutes away. I work Kent county so I’m familiar with the whole northern, eastern, and southeastern halves of the county.

Spiral ham with a brown sugar glaze. That was pretty darn good.

I thought for sure we would have open water by now. Today was 51 and sunny, but there’s still ice and it isn’t safe.
