Sorry I'm out for sat capt, got to get the snow off my roof before the rain comes in.

Same here, they are currently predicting another 2ft of snow come Thursday , and today is my only day off.  Kids and work have really been screwing up my fishing, i've only been out 4 times this year

Half way done...30"+ in some spots

Well only seven brave souls braved the weather and slush to make it out on The Cove
today and a good time was had by all.  The morning was actually pleasant and the paths
that Ednecks friend (Rocky?) had made earlier in the week with his snow mobile proved to
be just the ticket for avoiding the slush.  The fishing was classic cove (slow) but stripernut
pulled up a nice little pike to keep our cove pike streak running and the jigging was good especially
for crappie.  There was a mix of pannies and Justlooking who absolutely couldn't make it nailed a bass. 

Here's some pics.

Nice going guys.. I spent the day (like many others)...shoveling the roof off (with 30+ inches of snow) ... Took from 8am to 2:30 non-stop..... had to do it before the rain... Hope to make it next year

sorry guys I couldnt make it, had the scorer from Pope & Young coming at 2:00 with almost no notice. My deer did score 146 2/8 so that was good news. Hope everyone had a blast. Maybe next year I will make it

Live med. Heavy Shiner, 12lb Floro (lucky). I only dropped in 2 tilts, maybe I should have dropped in more...
