Huh??


Where is McDavid in the Edmonton lineup?  Is he out for some reason?




Oh, I just saw where he got suspended.  Shows how much I pay attention - I didn't know.   Well, that's catching a break.

[Surreylily]

Morning all   

[Mickstix]

Evenin'!


Damn, I may have to watch this one from the fart sack. It's frickin 41* down here.

the fish will still bite when the air temp is 41, it’s a little harder when the water is frozen

[Mickstix]

When the water gets below 55* down here, it might as well be frozen, as far as bass fishing is concerned.




Oh look, no McDavid!

[Surreylily]

Early wake up call.

[alta]

GOOOAAALLLL

WILSON

Now I have an image in my head of Micky ice fishing in Florida in his shorts and hat........

20th goal of the season for Willy. He was on the verge of 30, before covid and a bad coach.

Negative! Minumum 60* air temp or the boat stays covered up! 




Was just about to say we didn't look particularly sharp, the Willy buries a DIME from Proi!! Still dont look that sharp though, but playing ok.

[Surreylily]

Holding our own so far.

Negative! Minumum 60* air temp or the boat stays covered up! 

The image was of an ice hole, drilled in the ice, with you perched on a stool......   in your hat and shorts.

That's no image, that's fantasy! 


First few years down here, I'd be out in 40's weather in a jacket, shorts and flops. But that blood thins as the years pass. Now Im on the deck smokin' in full sweats, socks, jacket, hood up.. It's pathetic really.

It’s 20 here with snow on the ground, I don’t put shoes on to top off the bird feeders
