I dought that , whom ever it may of been had to have a small boat and there is no way to get to the open water other than point pleasure , ( by the campers) There isn't much open water out on the narrows either.

I was out checking some lakes tonight and saw the gentleman put in his boat at thew DNR access. I didn't stay to see where he went but I'm sure it wasn't the narrows---had to be right out in front of the landing or the small bay to the east. Hope he caught some!!

[Jesse Drummer]

yup still ice between the narrows and the landings

[PDOGG]

Just drove by it this morning still alot of ice out there I don't now how you could get a boat to the narrows unless you drug a small one to point pleasant.

. that's what i said yesterday and now i got support on what i said . ha!

[PDOGG]

Guess you did already say that sorry.

[kato wall guy]

well since it was me out there i was not on the narrows I was straight in front of the access testin the motor and trancducer location on my boat, and of course could not resist to try a little fishin did get a bit felt nice but just gettin everything ready.

[Team Otter]

It never hurts to prepare.

[kato wall guy]

I was out there making sure everything was up to par. Last year I bought a new locater color screen I was having some issues with the arches, pretty sure it is the transducer mounting position if anyone has any good tricks or has experienced the same problem some advice would be appreciated. I want to be ready for the action I will be out there again wend. doing some final tweaks and a line may fall over board.

Hookey,

your "relieable source" isn't cross eyed or nothing like that is the person? because the narrows is kinda close to the dnr access . I could see that getting mixed up. lol jk

[Team Otter]

You want the bottom of your transducer to be flush with the bottom of your hull and a fair distance from any turbulence that may be created by the motor.

Madison should be about done by tomorrow with all this wind. There isn't even much piling up on the shoreline, it's going so fast.

We stopped by our sponsors place and spent some money on all sorts of fun fishing stuff. Let's say we were doing Retail therapy for having to send in a BIG check to State and Federal.

Yeah that lake really changed from going to work at 6:30 this morning and coming home at 5. It went from iced over to almost completly white caps. I have a dollar be on it being completly open by the end of the week so it looks like a be a whole dollar richer.

[kato wall guy]

Have the day off tommaro I will be there

[zepman]

Another thought on your transducer---if your boat has rivets you may want to see that your transducer is not directly behind a row of them. These too, can cause enough turbulance to send some strange signals to your screen.

Madison will have no ice by this afternoon. Washington is open too. Pulled into westwood this morning. Everything that you can see from there is open water. I'm sure bakers bay is open too with the south wind. Emily is open too as well as German.

[Team Otter]

Pitter, patter, let's get at 'er!

[Jesse Drummer]

Ill be out friday. Got approved for vacation so got the whole next 2 weeks off! haha . open water here i Come!

[longcaster]

be careful what you assume guys, I got a report yesturday that there was still ice out from the new access on washington.

[Reid G]

Not assuming anything, I was there this morning. I'll be putting the boat in this afternoon.

[PDOGG]

Madison is open except for some in the town bay but that will be gone today. I drive by it at least twice a day. So you have my word it is fishable.

[Jesse Drummer]

PDOGG,

can i get your home address just in case I go out there and there is a bunch of ice on it? i'm just kidding . i'll be out friday learning some new techniques.

[PDOGG]

I didn't say there wasn't ANY ice I said it was fishable.

[Jesse Drummer]

I know , I was just saying if i got my boat out there and there was alot more ice than you said but im shure it should be gone ny now.
