It looks like this ice might be around for a while. Forecast for the week shows cold and a chance of snow pretty much all week long. I guess it's time to get a count of what I have and what I need, and get the boat ready for ice out. Time to start reading the crappie magazines over again for the umteenth time to see what I missed before. I havent;t been out at all since December 31, and looks like a while till next time. I am going to Florida in two weeks, so I can throw a few jigs at the redfish and snook at least. Might even fight a few gators at Myakka Lake for a few Florida crappie and bass. Hopefully East Fork will clear out by the time I get back. I hate this time of year!!!
