    Its 2007 [new year], cold, and winter, and we are all sitting here over flowing with cabin fever. Where is the first place you plan to launch the boat in the water at in 2007? Which river? Which lake?
    Thanks, Bill

    By the way, I’m guessing your going to get that answer a lot Bill.

    My first place for a river will be pool 4 on the Mississippi River. Super year around fishery and the home of where Walleye Fever/Cabin Fever gets satisfied.

    For a lake it will depend on which lake [Lake Zumbro or Lake Pepin] opens up first. On Lake Zumbro I’m anxious for some crappie fishing. On Lake Pepin I’m anxious to just get out on the water and fine tune the rigging of rod holders on my boat.

    To put it plain and simple: just give me some much warmer temps, no ice on the water, and where there isn’t alot of boat traffic so I can experiment.

    Thanks, Bill

    ps. Yep ”MANY LOTS” Lenny.

    As soon as the waters half way free of ice its the turkey river in n.e. Iowa for me. Heck of a smallie river plus walleyes and early catfish.

    Hopefully Chamberlain s.d. in mid to late march if my boat shows up in time, if not it might be the Detroit River around April 3 or so

    I can’t believe I’ve missed the entire month of January.

    My first trips of the very early season are either on Pool 4 out of Everts or Pool 5 out of Alma.

    Wisconsin River below Wisconsin Dells, unless it isn’t open by late march, then it would be pool 4.

    I’ve been out on Pool 4 several times already.

    No need to put the boat away around here!!!
