    I too am going through walleye withdrawel…..Ieven got the shakes and tremors thinking of my boat just sitting there, begging me to go for a ride. These rods are starring at me with their eyelets, and these jigs, are just bouncing around, like they are practicing. Do I need help or therapy??????

    Axl, I think you need the same therapy we all do, the plunk of a jig or crank slipping into soft water!

    If you find a therapist, you might as well sign me up too! I don’t know if my boat gets lonely but I know I sure get lonely for my boat!

    Hopefully the weather will cooperate some and I can get on the ‘sippi in Feb……

    We have no snow left here. The frost is going out fast enough that I sunk my 3wheeler 5 inches going through a bean field to run beaver traps this morning. The river is open and all I can think about is ice fishing.

    Nope, that’s not healthy, and it tends to make my fat face fatter.

    Well, today I picked up my boat. It really didnt help matters any! I have a strong feeling it is getting shoved into the water somewhere in next couple of weeks, probably Wisconsin River. I just saw a show with Big Dave walleye fishing on Jan 19th…if he can do it, so can I!
