Enjoy the trip. Texas is on my short list of states to visit. Having lived in Michigan my entire life I’ve seen the Great Lakes several times, so when I went to Myrtle Beach for my senior year spring break I was looking forward to seeing the ocean for the first time. When I saw it my first thought was “oh it’s just like Lake Michigan” Lol . I guess we’re a little spoiled here in the Great Lakes State.

Well east of me. Usually it comes from Lake Michigan and the east side of the state gets nothing, so they can have that crap for once.

Oops.

Ha ha that’s awesome. These ones are nice. A lake just down the road has some that aren’t so nice.

My yearly routine, I cry when the lakes freeze and celebrate when they thaw.

Even the swans are ready for ice out.

I’m with @A-Jay as long as there’s no wind and above zero it’s not too bad out especially if the sun is out (which rarely happens in the winter). It could be 40 and breezy/windy and I’m cold.

4 this morning, high of 23. By Sunday it’s going to be 44. Crazy weather we’re having.

Good luck, sounds like a good deal.

Can that video be found on line? Would be interesting to see a 15-16 Wheeler.

Snow day for the kids. 6poundbass opened the truck door when they got in town and it looks like a snowman pooped on his head! The picture is sideways but you get the idea.

Our forecast was for a rain snow mix and the snow would melt upon touchdown. We wake up this morning to 3 inches of super heavy wet snow and no school. It’s now 36* out so a lot of this will probably melt. Try again weather man!

Looking back at my prediction (March 25), Looking at how thing are, the extended forecast through the end of the month, and the lack of snow and ice I’m confident I’ll be close to hitting the mark. I hope I didn’t just screw myself with that. ?

Can’t please everyone. “Use your best judgement” no longer works because common sense is extinct and if someone were to get hurt, sink a boat, or even die it wouldn’t be their fault it would be the organization’s fault. Along with common is accountability in the extinct category. It’s always someone else’s fault. Remember the FLW event last year or the year before on Big O? A co died, that pro has to live with that the rest of his life, replaying the moment they both went over, and playing what if the rest of his life. If a boat went flying down Chickemauga and hit an object barely submerged because of the flood and the angler was ejected and killed, everyone would be up in arms saying it should have been postponed. You can’t make everyone happy and at the end of the day, they’re just fish. I don’t need to fish tough conditions or a flooded parking lot to prove I’m a man.

Last weekend we set tip ups on our lake, the ice was around 4” thick. We set some again yesterday and it was 6”. The thickness is going in the wrong direction for my liking. This time last year we were close to a foot thick so I’ll take what we have now.

Lazy day.

If all those bright dots are bass, there are a ton down there still.

It’ll be rain for us, bye bye snow.

Not sure if you noticed, this topic is 9 years old. Hopefully he figured it out and most importantly found a job.

Go a hair over $700 and you can get a Garmin 93SV. You can get a Garmin 73SV for around $500.

Kind of ironic you update this because the lake has been popping and cracking all day making ice.

Is there a trout pond there? Just kick the kids out and fish the pond. ?
