Here I sit at my man cave work table with lures and tackle boxes scattered all over the place. Its a whopping 4 degrees without wind chill. The wood burning Earth Stove sure does get heat to the ol bones. Both my dogs are curled next to me.

Still 10" + of ice. About one month to go before soft water and the To Do List is still long.
Download all waypoints from last year, research them and figure out what new spots I want to try this year.
Do some boat repairs and repack my bearings.
Plan my fishing campouts, and/or make camping reservations.
Research other fishing holes via Google Earth.
Build a transducer bow mount. Figure out how to mount my PiranhaMAX220 to a ram mount, and install both to the boat.

Time for another beer and to throw another log on the fire.

Are you ready for soft water?
