Summers almost over......

[Retro Performance]

Sunday December forth on Minnesota Lake X.............An absolute blast.........anybody else still running?

I gladly vote for you to be the most hard core enthusiast. I  imagine going into the water with Carharts and a helmet would sink ya like a rock.  Just a bit cooler outside than I would like.

The water is cold when you first get in but its fine once you get used to it?  Really we are pretty carful and have a rescue boat ready if needed

Don, you go to extreme lengths to have the lake all to yourself. Open up the throttle - there will be no water sheriffs around. Who says you have to go to Florida to boat year round.

Do you have to dry the boats in a heated area to get the water out?

[Retro Performance]

With the lake empty of boats and most wildlife, combined with the cold air and water it really is a good time to run em hard.....nobody making wakes etc. I try to make sure the exhaust gets hot enough to keep things liquid long enough to drain ........I am hoping for an early spring and get on the lake in March......That would make winter only two months long? Pretty good for Minnesota.

Don, these cartoons are for you.

I got hypothermia just looking at the pictures !

I just drove by Johanna in Arden Hills.....80% open including the ramp.....Anybody for a Saturday run? If we get enough maybe we could reserve a picnic shelter.......I think they are saying a few inches of snow as well?

It is OVER at Rice Lake near Paynesville! 
Last weekend when Brandon and Amber were here the lake was 100% water. 
Now, it is 100% ice, and it's 2 degrees outside with a cold moon lighting up the frozen lake.

I think I am done for the year but...............The walleye fisherman say not yet?

Now that is just plain crazy, gets bad when you have to use a snow blower to clear the ramp to launch just so you can go fishing. Did you guys have any heat source along with you? Nice fish though and I bet they tasted even better than the summer ones.

[Retro Performance]

I got those photos from a customer.......in two nights fishing they had 10 Walleye over 10 pounds........I'm guessing its over now unless you walk on it.

[Jason]

That's awesome.

[Plugcheck]

Those are some impressive fish, and walleye is quite tasty.  I can honestly say I've never cleared snow to use a ramp, and more certain I never will.  Most folks here would wait for ice fishing, but it's a hit/miss round here anymore, just doesn't get cold long enough or deep enough to ice fish.
