Thanks for the awesome update :D Sorry just for clarification the first photos are McGregor right?

[WayneChristie]

Thanks for the updates. Travers dam is certainly looking a lot different from the last time I was there. crazy weather today for sure

[tasco]

wow!!! pine coulee has really started to open up the last couple of days. That wind does some amazing things to the ice. I was there on Tuesday I believe, and it was still 99.5% iced over. it was just opening up a little around the bridge. looks like it will be clear of ice sometime next week at this rate

[rielbowhunter]

oh chubbs your a devil!!! now I just want my boat out there even more. There is no way I am not going on the 14...... Hell i wouldnt be shocked if my rubber arm gets twisted to go on the 8th. need to shore things up with the motor first though. oh man....... I will be organizing all my gear and tackle boxes again this week. and making some rigs....

[npauls]

All my rods are tied up and ready to go. The boat should be done being fixed up and ready to go on monday and the camper brackets will be on the truck on tuesday. I will also have to camper packed up with everything on tuesday or wed. so I will be ready to go for opening day on chin and also pretty much the whole week after opening day. I can see you busting your balls and getting that boat done in time for the 8th.

Thanks for the photos Darter. Good to see all the lakes opening up just in time for the season start.

[horsetrader]
