Re: Well, Summers over

Now OBJ, why would you want to scrap the windshield?<br /><br />If your brave enough to be out there in that weather, you are sure brave enough to stand up and hammer on it. <br /><br />Ahhhh, the feel of icicles below the eyes.

Re: Well, Summers over

Re: Well, Summers over

craig, don't mean to sound stupid, but that pic of your red boat on the ice....<br />1- is that ice tha bank?<br />2- howNthehell did ya get the motor started?<br /><br />i only say that because i had a hellofatime getting my old chry70/70 to start last yr in Feb, when at a get together with old buds- it got down to freezing, and my boat was at the dock. it took me forever to get it to crank. in 4 yrs it never caused a problem til then. and it was all due to a cold snap. (that's what we call it)<br /><br />you guys who run in freezing weather must have to really sweat the maintenance side of things...<br /><br />i'm a battery expert which means we can have old 1/2 charged, almost dry batteries down here, and never have a problem - in summer. but this was the first time putting my boat in the water in freezing weather. that was last yr, now i have a bigger motor, good starter, and dual batteries on it...(same ones as before, charged fully-as before)

Re: Well, Summers over

Friggin weather!, gonna have to push the launch date back a couple of more weeks. I don't like being wet a cold trying to get the boat ready. Through the week its fair, come the weekend its cold and damp. YUK YUK YUK.. Tonight surpose to be in the lower 20's.<br /><br />I feel bad for those farther north than me. They are getting a mixture of stuff that makes a person depressed. Especially if he is a boater!........Depressed SS

Re: Well, Summers over

About 80 here yesterday.<br /><br />Me and wifey pooh went fishing and caught about 30 or so trout.

Re: Well, Summers over

Jus keep on rubbin it in SBN. I just might be glad to move to Kentucky! It is farther south than I am now! <br /><br />Thursday it was in the low 40's in Cleveland, but here in Mansfield (60 miles south) it was in the mid 70's. Sorta felt good being warm and them cold!

Re: Well, Summers over

Hey Spinner,<br /><br />What time is dinner? I hope we're talkin' "pan fried"<br />76 yesterday. 36 right now.<br />Too cold (for me) to boat OR fish BUT never too cold for fresh trout.

 

[SpinnerBait_Nut]

Re: Well, Summers over

Now SS, I wasn't rubbing it in. <br />Just adding to the topic. <br /><br />Sorry klondike, they are already gone.<br /><br />When I bring trout home and fire up the deep fry, it seems that the kids(children and their's) can smell it.

Re: Well, Summers over

winds forcast up to 40mph today. with ice on trees,<br />heavy tree damage and widespread power outages are<br />possible.<br />just great!

 

[SS MAYFLOAT]

Re: Well, Summers over

Mellowyellow, I think trees coated with ice with the wind blowing, you can hear branches and trees falling from the terrific weight from the ice. Really a scary sound especially when there isn't any other background noise going on. Just the sound of cracking ice on the tree limbs. <br /><br />We had an ice storm several years ago that had built up to 1" thick. Saved me some bucks for topping out the trees on my lot. It was an experience I'll never forget. Newspaper had photos of people ice skating on the streets.<br /><br />Hope you don't get one that bad. Hang in there, the season will soon be here. I just hope we have nice weather.....SS

Re: Well, Summers over

Ya woke up to 2 inchs of snow can't go out today. Just when the lakes were showing water it all froze back up. Can't fish can't work can't type been through tackle about 100 times new line on reels new reels played with you can break a whole lot of stuff casting in the house but the cat thinks it's fun

Re: Well, Summers over

The cat thinks its fun?? The last time I tried to hook a cat up to a live bait rig he didn't like it. It is mighty hard too, with so many places for him to hide. Now I wait till we are out in the boat. I don the welding gloves, and can have him rigged up in about 5 minutes. I've learned a few things over the years. Buy them little pet lifejackets and attach a few snap swivels to them. Then you can attach the hooks AFTER you have the jacket on the cat. And the jacket helps with bait longevity. You can usually get by with only 2 or 3 cats a day.

Re: Well, Summers over

roscoe, you better add that "No animals were harmed in the making of the lure." <br /><br />The P.E.T.A. people will be all over you.

 

[roscoe]

Re: Well, Summers over

OK. "No animals were harmed in the making of this lure." <br /><br />Any subsequent injury or ***** to the cat was inflicted by another animal (northern pike), so that is ok, I think.
