For the past couple of years we often talked about trying a lil Softwater outing for Whites . But neither one of us was willing to give up any of our Spring Trout time , Summer Bass time or Fall Bass etc etc...............Today it happened


However .....


Several Obstacles got in the way.


The tarp that covered my boat sprung a leak and most of the rain from the last week or so was now under the tarp . The result.... Frozen Muskie net



Next Obstacle ........Trying to make it up to Kevin's new house ( up ) as in UPHILL..



A 4x4 jeep failed and skidded down coming to rest on top of a large Boulder



Sadly the Sunfire also failed





I also skidded down the hill...Some minor contact between the prop and the ditch , and away I went





Around the back way ..............Again , Reaching Kevin's house.........not going to happen






While waiting for him to walk down to the car , Might as well snap a pic of a bird




Met up with Cprince a short time later and switched the Princecraft over to the Impala...Destination 31 Mile Lake



Th reason for this pic of the trailer under water like this without the boat ....I had to unhook it from the impala so Craig could get out ...the ramp was ice covered

I knew I should have kept the Boat on the Sunfire .


Next step ....

Paddle our way up the Launch











Storming to the Hotspot ...Look Ma , No Gloves





Minutes later...





Minutes later ...

Craigs feet were cold





Calm before the Storm





The Storm





We reel in and head off , but the boat seems real sluggish


ANCHOR in tow



Bye Bye Softwater 2010



Oh...

One last Obstacle......The gate got in the way while backinng the boat in the back yard for the winter

Last time I buy snow tires from Bangladesh and run them all year 'round for two summers...

great report guys, I always carried a few bags of sand salt mix and have needed it a few times

Nice report!
I just just put mine away this afternoon.

Soooo BA, Did the fat lady sing, or is she waiting to see what next weekend is like?

Next weekend is still open for sure

Might give Muskie a try

Great report!! Atleast you didn't get skunked.

Looks like soft water is geting close to the end.

Who pulled the trailer out of the water?

Tied it to the Impala with about 25 feet of rope and it went tight just as the Impala got a good head of steam going.

Worked like a charm!!

Getting the boat out of the water was easy peasy with the sand all over the lane-way.

Gotta tell you... Bassaddict has gotten himself into so many... umm... shall we say; "Situations" that he is quite good getting out of them!

These are what lasting fun memories are made of though... no doubt!

Craig

Thanks for the laughs gang. Lol! This was a good one.

Sorry for the obstacles but at least you found a nice fish!

Bah! That's awesome. What a gong show. How did you get the boat and trailer back up the ramp?

GR8 report .... You guys are NUTZ ... Love it!!!

With the sand in the tracks all the way up the hill.. the Impala pulled it out and up the hill easy as pie!


Craig

entertaining report lads!

Obstacles outnumbered fish pics 10:1.... but I bet it was still worth it.

Hahaha Awesome report guys!

Situations like those make great stories. Memories.
