There is only so much tackle I can sort trying not to go crazy waiting for ice out.
I cant take it anymore so I load the truck up and head out in search of some soft water. The weather is perfect, its so nice in fact I a have good ol truckers tan going on just from the drive up.
After stopping at a few different lakes I find one of my lakes 75% ice free and the remaining ice soft enough to break through to sweet laker heaven.

Ahh trolling for lakers in my T-shirt (and pants) with the sun beaming down melting the last of the ice. 8)

I start to mark fish at 10'-15' and I there are even lakers hitting the surface close to the canoe. This is going to be a awsome day.
That is until I hear the trolling motor kick down in speed. :o
Looks like the new battery I bought last year has been fried by my 2nd replacement fancy digital intelligent :roll: battery charger I picked up at C.T.
Hardly made it back across the lake and had to pack it up. :evil:
Oh well was good to get out and more lakes should open up by next weekend.

S.M.05 saying IF IT SMELLS LIKE TROUT GET YOUR ROD OUT :lol:

Tomcat you hit the nail on the head. Forgot the paddles at home :oops: . Had a chunk of drift wood but it didnt cut it out on the lake with the breeze.
