I'd like to place a take-out order. 😀

Walleye opener is a week and a half away for me, and for once, I'm pretty much ready. The warm weather we had last week destroyed our ice within 3-4 days and I was able to get my boat out on Saturday. Water surface temps were already surprisingly high at 51-58 degrees. That's crazy for a lake that had safe ice a week before.

I spent a few hours poking around in the dark, spotting spawning walleyes in the shallows and just generally enjoying the last warm weather for a couple of weeks.
