Over for another year

Well, we took the boat in this morning for winterizing and storage. See ya next spring 619. Always kind of a let down to take her in.
Now it is respool ice fishing reels, gather all the jigs,spoons etc, fuel the Strikemaster etc. We put the Clam Guide in the back of the truck and the Fishtrap Pro in the back of the garage.
All in all not much to report for the results of this year as I was down all summer recuperating from the knee surgery in June. But I will be back.

BACK ON THE WATER AT LAST!!

Well, I'm back on the water. I have a little trouble getting in and out of the boat on dry land but not too bad. Dianne and I had granddaughter Caite out 2 weekends ago she caught 16 Yellow Bass and 3 gills we had a blast.
Spent some time getting to know the  Humminbird 998si, it is awesome but the learning curve is steep. I had a little problem with the Spot Lock feature on the MinnKota Terrova, turned out to be a low battery in the remote control. Weird.
Dianne and I were out yesterday for a couple of hours looking for perch lots of small ones and tons of yellow bass. I have not been catching many silver bass.
