Spring is hardly here and already we've had a boating fatality (yesterday on Woodridge Lake) and a boat sinking where the operator needed to be rescued (today on Twin Lake).
I know everyone is chomping at the bit to get out there on your boat. I would just like to remind everyone that the water is still very cold and if you go in, particularly without a life jacket it can ruin your weekend....perhaps permanently.
Please be careful out there, wear your PFDs, make sure you've got your safety gear on the boat with you, that your bilge pump works (or you have a bailer), etc. I like meeting all of you, but I don't want to meet you because you've had an accident.

Great advice, I can't tell you how many yakers I've seen on Rainbow Res. with no PFDs on or even in their yaks.
WAVEWALK DEMO AGENT: Send me a message if you want to try the W500,W700 and soon the S4.
You can take what you want from life......As long as you give a little Back. "We never get over the fishing fever, it's a delightful disease and thank the lord there is no cure". "CTF, is a lure I can not afford to NOT have in my pocket"
Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Our freedoms are being choked, big brother's grip is getting tighter.

BUMP. Yesterday I rescued 4 young kids in 2 different canoes who decided to go out on a local secluded lake, with no PFDS, and got caught up in some chop, only to take on water and. If I hadn't decided to fish, I can only imagine things couldve been waaayyyy worse.
No matter the water temp, any quick movement or flip over in a small craft can result in panic and inability to swim.
you do........
