Not yet 3rd season... I never missed the opener when I fished the Chip... but times change. I should get back up there and fish again.

A favorite of mine is fried crappie on toast with tartar sauce. Nice Ardere's!

Hopefully this weekend !! Great job Tex !!

Time to put some in the boat !!

The Walking Boss had been whispering that it would be a good idea to add a buddy to the topwater lineup at Livingston... he's performed well, but not the jealous type.

Surface time getting closer and BigMakk be here soon too.

Don't bring the phone! Too many things to do in both spring and fall. Mid afternoon decided gotta take a few casts; took 20 minutes to find a few, caught three... damn phone rang and next thing you know I was on an emergency rototiller duty. A little sluggish they were, but hit on loong pauses.

Big fun at the Recon Boats event today! Always cool to hang around anglers. Great folks and questions after seminar; got to see many haven't seen in a while and a pleasure to meet several for the first time. Signed some vintage lures and saw a vintage hat.

Was a bit chilly for Recon ride but many toughed it out.

Thanks to Lakeside Marina, Recon and Gillespie crew.

A few throwbacks on Thursday... one of my all-time favs with dad Tex and John Gillespie. Fun trip out east!

Reminder on event this coming Saturday at Lakeside Marina in Oshkosh WI. Recon Boats featured - test drives available, Johnsonville Brats to chew on.

Gillespie crew will be there with me; unfortunately Tex not coming, he's going fishing.

Muskie season keeps creeping closer ...
