The cold weather here in NY stops me from enjoying a boat ride around Oct/Nov. When I was younger the cold did not bother me. Now I'm a little older, I'll wait till April to splash the boat again.

All depends on the weather and how much time I have. My Sea Ray has been out for a couple of weeks(earily this year). I'll pick and choose the days with the whaler for the next couple of weeks. Hope for a couple nice weekends in Long Island.

Today!Sad Unless we get lucky and get a few warm days put together this was probably it. We had a good morning, though no fish. My two sons and I spent a few nice hours on the boat with the realization that this may be it until March. Many people here in Central Iowa have already winterized. (Which I don't understand.) Boats were scarce on the lake today, which was quite fun. I'm not one to quit early, but when you can only go on the weekends the odds get slim from here on out. Perhaps I'll have to hop a ride in January with one of you crazies from Texas or Florida! Wink

Pretty lucky here in Nor Cal, except for some big rain and a bit of th winter,I plan on using my Nauset all year. Warm dry coats and PFD's are all I need. Stugeon season is about to start in full force, stripers are going really well in the delta, salmon season (what we have left of one!) is next month.


Gonna run her as long as I can stand it.

Hey, it snowed in South Florida in January 1976......I was in 5th grade and though they didn't let us out of school for a "Snow day", they did let us go outside and attempt to catch a snow flake on our tongues. South Floridians are spoiled.....if it drops into the 60's, they don their heavy winter jackets, drink hot cocoa and go outside and attempt to see their breath. lol.

So the last time John's season ended was 32 years ago? That is a pretty good run in my book.

Season? No season for me. Its the South after all. I have some good foulies and gloves. Biggest concern here is having enough water in the lake to launch.

I guess when it comes to Lake Lanier, the lake level is a major concern. I hope that the lake fills up soon. When I was there with my Whaler back in June, the lake was in pretty bad shape.
