5 More Days!!
by Capt Juls on 02/27/15I'll be going over to Vic's Sports Center to pick up the new Ranger on Wednesday.
So, in preparation I have plugged in the Excursion (both the heater block and the battery charger) to make sure she fires up this weekend.
We have a snowstorm coming this Sunday, but I haven't heard how many inches they are calling for yet. This winter has got to end soon, and the ice needs to go out on Lake Erie, so I can get the new boat out on the water. I'm going through a little cabin fever here. The dogs are too. They haven't been able to do their regular walk for quite some time now, due to the road we walk being covered in snow and ice. They don't last out there more than 5 minutes before they are picking up their feet from the cold....poor dogs.
Last year was a cold one too, and the ice was gone by the last weekend in March, so my fingers are crossed that we will experience the same this year. Hopefully, that will mean another good walleye hatch for 2015. The 2014 hatch is reported to be similar to the 2007 and 2010 hatches, which were better than normal. The 2003 walleye are all monster fish now, and there are still plenty of them in the system. Will this be the year I get to crack the 13# mark? I have not been able to get over 12.9 pounds yet....sigh.
I'll post pictures of the new boat in the photo album as soon as possible! One of the service guys sent me a pic text of it, so I got a peek at it. She sure is pretty! :)
Stay tuned...
