I'm hoping to get out this weekend and get started. Weather is supposed to warm up a little, hope it don't overdo it, they're talking about a chance of rain, and we don't have that much ice that we can afford to lose any. Hopefully next week a couple guys I work with and I are gonna run up to northern Iowa for a day trip. Dug my Vex out today to charge it up. I stay pretty basic with my fishing, but the Vexilar is one thing I wouldn't want to give up.
