Not long now, counting down on days not weeks...#fishing2019The last of our 2018 Walleye, serves on a wonderful Good Friday. Time to catch some for 2019, whose with me?It won’t be long until @fishwhispering and I will be chasing these beauties. Who else is excited for open water?Well the boat is in the garage and the new Garmin Echomap 93SV is installed.

Good news is the @princecraft is ready for open water!Sponsors
