When tenps go up over 32 for a couple weeks we're ready. Ice boom is our only hitch. Even in the coldest years the ice lets up in less than a week. The lakers are out there and hungry now. May is a great month. Maybe the best, because as the water warms the fish get active. Hungry silver and steele, green and brown. No matter what your partial to, its goin on in may. I have this daydream every day. I'll see ya there.
