Division Champs

Pretty much nobody gave them a chance to go from worst to first in the division. Especially when the “experts” were crowning the Vikings Super Bowl champs before anybody played a game. 

Getting the itch. Got the tackle organized and batteries topped off. Going to respool this weekend and keep my fingers crossed it will warm up soon.

Need to start fishing so I stop sitting at the computer spending money on gear!

I hear ya! This winter I bought a tonneau cover for truck, an electric smoker, and just swapped out two ceiling fans in the house.

I need too get back on the water !

Just dropped $50 @ @Siebert Outdoors on more Fogys and arky jigs. Money well spent, now we just need spring

I've serviced roughly 50 reels now.  Cleaned rods. Spooled reels. Got a warm day last week and went through boat motor and serviced it and cleaned the inside out some. Aired tires, greased bearings. 

 

Just need to pick up two new trolling motor batteries before tournaments start. 

 

Im.... ready..... to.... start.... fishing! 

I’m going Thursday. Water looks like Yoohoo, 43 degrees. And I don’t care. Going anyhow!

Fished for 3 hours without a bite.? still don’t care.

Going to be in the single digits for the Braidwood opener. Think I'll pass

Saw some good fish pics posted. Sounds like it was a zoo though. That alone is enough to stay away.

I was thinking of hitting Powerton to take the Ultrex on its Maiden voyage. Anyone have any tips for smallies or largies? I have never even seen it.

Anybody here fish Newton power plant lake? Have a tournament on it this year,  it's been quite some time since I've been on it.

Bass Lake IL...Chicago Suburbs....Army Trail Rd?

I just left cabelas. The state of IL, in their infinite wisdom has decided to upgrade the printers. Only problem is they aren't working. Cabelas said they got the new printers 3 weeks ago and haven't been able to sell a single fishing license.

I always buy my licenses online. I print 3 copies so I always have one with me.

One on me, one in the boat, one in the truck.

I buy mine online as well and save as a PDF I can print as many times as I want or pull up on my phone
