All official ties to Illinois are gone....yeah baby. Sold and closed on my house. Snow no more! Bye, bye cold weather.

This was a two weeks ago. That's actually Billbob's house in IN, but it was an awakening for me while on my way to IL. I went to IL from there and encountered even more of that nasty white stuff, yuck!

And now I'm home baby.....in the warmth again, and catchin' again too....

Good to know that the crappie are still out there and have not turned to summer mode yet. The one my daughter is holding looks like it has a belly full of eggs still. Interesting. But I don't know because they were all released. yay Florida.....

I been away from those snows in Iowa for 51 years and now miss them sometimes. I have seen it a few times here in NE Florida and that is enough. Nice fish. They are just starting to move into their Summer mode but they are catch able all year. Don

I know your relieved to be free of the home up north. We got stuck in recession with a rental property when we bought a new home and market crashed shortly after leaving us landlords. Well finally market rebounded enough to prompt the sale and closing Monday. Glad your back and catching feesh.

Closing on a house is GOOD! yay, and congrats

Welcome back to gooberville

Good deal on the house!! Freedom is good and now the mileage on the truck wont go up so fast. Time to fish!!

Congrats! I'm working on a permanent move myself but it's still probably be a couple more years. This Indiana spring is driving me insane!

Congratulations on a well laid plan.

Yes Slab some fish have yet to spawn. Still releasing big females that were full of eggs. Some will spawn up into June and July according to FWC reports.
I'm with you on not liking the snow and cold but I do miss the hot spring bite that comes after the cold.......crappies.....walleyes.......smallmouth. ..........white perch......

Glad you no longer have to worry about a house so far away and can enjoy the rest of the spring bite

Great! one less thing to worry about.

y-slabs

Great that u got rid of the house. Now u can come to Truman spring camp.

Congrad's Slab, I know the weather is 1 thing, but more so I think you will find many good uses for the extra funds that are not going to Illinois TAXES anymore, people leaving in record #ers these days...
