New boat and hard water

[Jim Brone]

I pick up my new boat in 18 days. Boy is it gonna make me eat my finger tips off wait'n 'til spring to take her out. I thought about taking her down to Lake Shelbyville in February but they got dat dang ole hard water down there right now.

My last boat was an aluminum 15 footer w/ a 40 Merc.This one is one a dem fancy lookin' sparkly boats wit da go fast motor on it. Oh well,there's always the Calumet river 'til April.

Powertown opens mid Febuary, no hp limit, it's a cooling lake that doesn't freeze as long as the plant is running. It's in Pekin. Word has it that there are a lot of real good smallmouth there. I have had no luck with them but others have. Might be worth a try.

Jeff,

Thanks,I'll look into it.

May try Powerton this summer, no hp limit?

Powerton's a cooling lake, isn't it?

I've fished Lasalle,Braidwood,and Monster lake, (Mazonia), but haven't made it to Powerton,maybe this year.... oh, congrats on the boat, Jim! egMike
