The 2006 fishing season in my zone at the lake opens on Saturday. Guess where I'll be 8) . I'm heading up to the cabin in the morning, right after I get an oil change, for the van :lol: . already picked up licences for me and the missus and have and adequate supply of leaches. The ice went off our lake a few weeks ago which is early, so the walleye will be a little more active and hopefully we'll be having a fish fry on Saturday afternoon. Tomorrows plan is to get the boat out , batteries intalled and charged. Will start the engine in the driveway and blow all that oil out of the engine. I'll do a little cleaning and get all the essentials put back in it. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and the wind won't be howling. Wind is the only thing that keeps us off the lake. This is almost as exciting as opening day of deer season .
