As you know, it is below freezing now, and the snow has fallen, and some of the rivers and waters have started to freeze over. I have still not winterized my boat although I have been tipping my motor to make sure that the water drains out. Other than that, I have not done anything else. I took the boat out last weekend, and am hoping to go out to the Mississippi this Sunday and catch some walleyes near the dams where the water will probably still be unfrozen. Will my boat and motor be OK being still not winterized at this time?
I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
