Hey Ron, One more Statistic soon to be added ......Surprise "Last Boat Fishing February 2023", on Reggies named "Laker Champlain" :) 36.7 water temp with single digit for the weekend it is sure to catch pretty well. Lakers do have a different aroma from "Skunk" after ag...

Hey Matt, I wondered if you would have a later than normal start with it blowing here in Waltham 15-25 at 6:30 AM :o Figured you would drink coffee in Converse until the sheep stopped running past Cedar point. Even without Salmon a beautiful memorable float Mid February shared with friends is like y...

I met Ron at 10AM and Al "The Master" just behind us. We all chatted and set to launch. https://i.postimg.cc/Z5zB3X7C/IMG_7040.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/fWF0WVY7/IMG_7042.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/1XgncS1N/IMG_7043.jpg The day greeted us with calm seas, cloudy with clearing skies. https://i....

I can go ass over bandbox in Crocks .....Show up at the ER with those on and they would fit me for a White Coat

Cool

From Meda this morning: Just when you think everything is going well, we have another setback. Seems the metal staples in his sternum have come loose and the bones have shifted and separated. This means that they will have to go in and re-attach them. This will probably happen next week after they a...

Great report and a fun crew for sure. The grub sure was "Best in Fleet"

What a day for a late January float.

Great pictures of a perfect January day.

Lots of Prospectors searching Silver.

Bill is finally out of ICU. He's improving everyday. Will probably be in hospital for 5-6 days more and then on to the Dreaded Rehab. Not ready for visitors yet.

Hey Ron, Nick and I were short of your numbers but not disappointed. Sure was shades of Frostbite past with ice on gear and fingers. Soup and cookies for a restorative. We had a 1 1/2 hr dead spot at the time of the wind change from Northwest to South as the snow moved in. All in all a Great time ou...

Ron I'll tack on our report: I assembled a crew of John McClary and Nick Tonzola to join the fleet Sunday to see if we all could locate any willing salmon to play with. We arrived at Converse at 10AM as Al with his partner Ed on The Master pulled in ahead of us. We were ready to launch and jumped ah...

Actually we have been afloat out there Fishing in Winter since well into the Last Century 1980's

A knife on the hip and cable cutter plyers at the transom are a must have on Champlain Too!

I have had experiences on Champlain where not having them ready at hand would have changed the outcome of the day.

In Frostbiting bad things can happen fast.....Not the time to be an indecisive Squirrel

Hey Ron, Let me tag on here with our report and pictures of the day. Today I met some of the Fleet today at Converse Bay at 10 AM for a warming day a sure turn from the days past of Cold & Windy.. Fat Head, Sea Bill & Crazy Ivan were on post as Diggitrol, Instigator and Surprise arrived, ass...

No go for tomorrow but Full float with Carl & John- Tuesday

Rest of week looks too nasty for a retired guy to go!
