Countdown to the Countdown
« on: Aug 25, 2014, 10:31 AM »
August 31st starts the countdown, at least that's when I started it last year. From there it was 90 days.   :tipup: :tipup: :tipup:

That sucks rags. I didn't do awesome or anything but a bit better than last year. Actually cleaned a few last winter. Could have used a little more size to them but you can't have your cake and eat it too I guess lol

Took a limit of crappies out of Menno last year. On the small side but not bad. They finally got the Marina dredge out completely this summer here so I'm hoping to get into some good fish there that I don't have to drive 30-45 minutes to get there lol. The biggest problem we ran into was finicky fish. They were there but getting them to bite was a chore.

I'm getting up at the butt-crack of dawn tomorrow to do some perchin' before all the first-timers show up for Labor Day weekend. That helps stave off the ice jones for a few days, plus puts some good eats on the table. Bugs or not, still gotta fish.  :tipup: :tipup: :tipup:
