I feel your pain, but at least this White stuff will bring the lake levels back up for a change.

I'm still trying to figure out if I'm heading to FL or AZ.
We'll find out in 2 weeks.
Either way, I doubt I have a gig, so I'm up for something...

Spent over 5 years trying to do just that. It's 10 times harder now with the recession. Should have kept my money and bought an Apache and a Ferrari. :ack2:

I've been threatening for years to just sell Ice-Cream sandwiches on the beach.
Don't know how much I'd make, but it would beat what I'm doing now.

Got a foot of snow today, supposed to get up to 26 tomorrow though. A warm front. Probably should launch one of the boats. You coming up? Could go water skiing.

we could have strippers on the boats for something to do while waiting on fishi to bite. it would be a good selling point to chose ours over someone down the dock. :03:

i think we need clay in on that though.

out front this morning . . . . cant remember the lake freezing this early. crappy cell phone pics but ya get the point. Hope it does freeze all the way and stays, thats how we maintain the lake level here. been gett'in some dustings of snow to.

I HAVE THE BUISNESS IDEA! we gom to florida, get a couple decent size sportfish/cruisers, hire some girls, topless fishing charters. have an add on etra charge service, once we get past the boundry (I think it's 12 miles) the sportfish turns into a floating brothel. we be pimpin florida style and makin bling!

Dude with the price of gas you should put that badboy back in the water and burn some gas to average out. Nice boat you have. Enjoy. Billy.

It's definitely good to see some low prices again, hopefully they last!:26:
Then again, IMHO the prices were over-inflated to begin with... :lurk5:

I was going to go out on the boat on Sunday but got a late start and by the time i got down to the marina it was a little cool for me(mid 70's):26:

I dunno... from May 1st thru October 15th we boat at least twice to three times a week thru the duration of the season so I guess don't miss it that bad yet.... I don't miss it when things are winding down, I miss it when things are cranking back up! :)

In 2-3 more months I'll be singing a different tune though!

Besides, I'm leaving for Ireland in a few weeks, can't wait!!!
