When

[GLF]

It has been a long winter. I just checked the satellite image of the ice on Lake Michigan. It does not appear to be that much ice. All of the ice is close to shore.

I think some of us will be fishing by March 23.

When do you think we will be fishing?

I won't be able to fish until after April 11th, but I think the channel ice will be out about the 3rd week of March.

I hope to be getting out of St Joe the weekend of March 22nd. Not much ice on the river now, just need the ice along the lake shore to go away. A couple of good rains and some wind will take care of most of it.

thanks frank, got the same lites from cabelas for about the same cost, cheaper online, but shipping cost $10, i was pricing new wire to replace the old, and to make long stiry short, went to menards and got an 25foot extention cord for $3.00, so when you see an ISLANDER rolling down the road lit up like a christmas tree, that would be me!!! here are some pics, ive got only one more side to do, THEN DIRECTLY TO THE LAUNCH!!
