Good news, rathbun was 95% free of ice yesterday and with the strong south winds today Id say the rest is gone. Water temp was 24.7 degrees.Didint fish much, but put two hours on the new boat.Waters still a few feet above normal pool, but theyre cranking it out down below.PJ

Corey, 24.7??
Congrats on the new rig. What was the water clarity like?

sorry Herb just seen your post.
I meant 34.7 and the water wasnt really too bad at all.Didnt get up around bridge view but the main lake is definately fishable.Plan on hitting it hard this weekend hopefully.

planing a early may trip to fish rathbun fo rmy first time.

Hope that water gets to warming up a bit.

I saw the first post and thought that maybe your new boat was an ice breaker ;-)
