I hear ya John. I was out early last year out of West Alton marina and we were wide open out to Rattlesnake and only saw ice sheets at the mouth of Alton Bay. Coming back in, those sheets made a b-line to the entrance of the marina. We snuck in along the shoreline in 2 feet of water as the ice closed in. A nice trophy was right behind us...don't know how they made it...I'm sure they were scratching bottom.

Yep, it's tough to be at the mercy of Mother Nature, but I've been that way all my life, in work or play.
