I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

I know many if not most of you have put your boats away already. I have not. But that day is quickly approaching. Every day I dread it more and more.  I spend every day at work thinking about one more trip. You know, just in case it snows and they salt the roads. I refuse to pull my boat in the salt, or whatever they use now.

On the bright side, there are still 21 days of bass season to go. Hope the snow machine holds out until the new year. I'm thinking it is time for a junky aluminum boat to pull when the roads are bad. That means I will have to settle for those other fish. At least I will be fishing.

Tell you what - wanna fish in 66 degree Michigan waters for large and smallies ?  ;D  PM me. I would say any day after Christmas to the New Year I can get out for a "Hot" trip to the Pond. I'll drag Frank with me - always bring two boats for twice the fun.
Thanks Dan for bringing year round Catch and Release to Michigan

bob o

Waterfoul

Do it on a Monday Mike and I'm in!!  Never been to the hot ponds!

I'm glad I'm not the onlyone obsessed. :)

Mojo, The hot pond will be next to impossible to enter with the water so low. Take some waders, you'll probably get stuck.

Mike S.

I have 60 degree water here too. Just can't get to it very easily........the boat wont fit in the bath tub ;D

The is exactly the plan, plus my 5 mm neo's to keep me warm  ;D. Bringing waders and heavy rope just in case.  Frank n I spoke, and we're in, we may drag the aluminum with a 40 horse behind us ( bring our own tug boat lol ! )

So here is what we got:
Mojo n FBenn (aka WSBF)
Mike and mike
Bob and (space saved - this could be you ) in the 18 footer

I can do the Monday after christmas if you guys can ?

Das a Nice sponsor logo bro.

Ok contest time  - I will give away a new spinner bait (in the color and weight of your choice ) of the new  2013 Kustom Kicker colors. Unbelievable colors. Go on Facebook under Kustom kicker to pick your choice if you can answer this simple question:

What do the initials I gave to Mr Benning (aka Frank) stand for ?

Answer somewhere in the Kustom Kicker Face Book page.

That's in the plans for next year. I just told the wife I wanted another boat like my old Bass Tracker, and a jon boat around 14' to throw in the back of the truck. If I had another Tracker, I could put the Skeeter away in late August and save some gas money.

Waterfoul

I'll check that Monday after Christmas date...

Are you sure we can get into the hotponds with a bass boat?

We will have to talk about that. I have to get the holidays behind me first. PM me a price when you know what you have to have.

Gotta motor on it?  Maybe we could "test drive" it on the hot ponds??   ;D
