Ok, I have put my boat at the docks as early as March 15 , and was not able to fish for 30 days due to weather , mostly, high winds , and some honey do lists, anyway I think, this April 15th , or after that will be the best time to get the Water Dog to the dock.

Getting all the rods and tackle in shape,
Hope you can do the same,
be safe,
back soon,
Water Dog

I made the trip out of Cawtaba on Friday 3/14 before the winds came into town. First trip of the year for me…. we started out trolling around Rattlesnake in the morning. Saw a few chunks of ice floating around off of Green where we made sure to keep an eye out for. We marked plenty of fish but no bites in that area. We even tried to vertical jig for a little bit to no avail. Around noon we made a move to the area I would say is roughly West of F and South of D can where we found some fish. Nothing too fast but we ended up with 9 of our 12 fish we were looking for. We slow trolled bandits 65′ back where we caught a majority of the fish. Ended the day at 4:00… with hope of coming back soon.

So who has a date in mind that we will be able to get the boats in the water this year based on the current ice conditions?

With the ice gone in front of the mouth of the river and all the rain, it shouldn’t be long until we will be out fishing. I’m hoping for next weekend. I just need it to open up within 100 yards of the ramp to make it out. That and it not to be blowing 100 mph. Lol. It won’t be long now.

I was watching the noon Weather on Toledo’s WTOL 11 and they showed the ice at Catawba and the weatherman made notice that there are shanties out on the ice there today.
