Local river is open, we have no season on anything in the rivers so off we go to wet a few baits and maybe get lucky and get something to pull on the end of our lines. Hope to start the 08 season off good, but wetting a line will do.

Well nothing to net, condtions were rough. Felt good to get the long rods out again, did find an issue with a reel, its been returned for replacement once already this one lasted 10 casts. Need a little more ice gone andd a little warmer temps.

5 days, here, and I'll be on soft water. Most of our lakes are about 30% ice off. The lake I fish a lot has another 3-5 days to be fishable.

By no means do I want to change the subject, but I was curious to what kind of reel you are having troubles with. Either PM me or post something in the TACKLE and EQUIPMENT forum. I hope to be fishing Pleasant Creek within two weeks. It was still pretty solid last weekend. Does anyone know if Hazle Creek in Northern Missouri is open?

We fished it all, bumped a few somethings was about it, guessing carp. The reel in question is a Gander GS66, my 2nd one and there wont be a 3rd. I was hoping it to last as I want the high speed but without paying for a Curado, guess I'll be getting one after all.
