 Below 30 deg next three mornings S. LA: Men vs Boys
I'll be hunting alone next 5 days. If you don't see new posts from me you should worry. Had friend of mine ramp a stump in he early morning darkness and sink his boat...911 and all that ensued. He's alright but had he not worn life jacket he said he'd be dead. Slow down my friends. If you go in with these temps you're in big trouble even with a life jacket.

 Re: Below 30 deg next three mornings S. LA: Men vs Boys
I busted 2 1/2'' ice 2 weeks ago for a couple miles by myself in the wee dark hours of the morning, not a good feeling. I ended up with a dented up hull after that, I kept stopping to make sure that I was in shallow enough water so I could stand up in case I cut my hull.
This is serious sht we do for fun. Ya'll be safe.

Go forth young men and kill your duckbyrds in freezing weather this morning cause I crapped out. My excuse: I had not drained water from my boat which froze so I would have been moving like a log.

 Re: Below 30 deg next three mornings S. LA: Men vs Boys
I can't wait for the weekend cleaned all the snow out the boat. insulated my throttle cable and sprayed it with lithium. late season is way better than teal season you can only take so much off before you get indecent exposure. Wish I could hunt the week-days
