    People don't realize the effect of near freezing water on the body.  Two years ago I was perch fishing on the SLR just after ice out.  I was in a small aluminum row boat.  I was cold and dropped an expensive pole.  As I tried to save it the boat tipped and I went for a swim.  I had a PFD on but the shock of the cold water and weight of my soaked clothes made it impossible to climb back in.  Luckily a father and son saw it happen, they were in a boat perhaps 1/4 mile away.  They got to me in about 5 minutes and dragged me into their boat.  I was hypothermic and it was a close call, I don't think I would have lasted another 5 minutes in the water.  Sadly, I never got a chance to personally thank my rescuers.  Cold water is no joke, especially for us old farts.

  3. Well had some vacation this week going into labor day but the weather and projects kept me off the lake until friday afternoon. Like with any day, I had to find them and I trolled till almost dark when I stumbled on some concentrated bait that was gonna set me up for Saturday morning. Saturday through today it produced big time with many silvers including a big brown which topped my largest of the year so far.....they are getting big, and when they bite you know it. Total program worked this weekend, Saturday was all riggers, couldn't fire a copper till the afternoon,  Sunday copper and core rules. Today was a mix.......white spoons were my go to this weekend. Temp tight at 50, speed was 2.4. Highlight was the last fish of the day for me today. Morning bite was good but the rain and wind shifts made it a slow afternoon. Rec boats started to come out and as I crossed my last point the rigger went screaming I mean like I caught it in the prop again kinda screaming.....had to put the boat in neutral,  got control, thought I had a big silver but was suprised with a 34 inch laker! Never had a laker run so much, definitely capped the weekend. Tight lines.
