April is always famous for its notorious Northeast winds. Lets hope for some warm weather and winds out of the SW to melt this ice and not give it a chance to blow back when the NE winds do occur. I need warm weather the weekend of April 5 to wax mine. Lol! Boat is going in April 11 providing the ice is melted at the marina. All you early fisherman be careful of floating or partially submerged ice. Wish everyone an enjoyable season.
