I've been reading the extended weather forecast for Marcell,MN and I think I'll pack more warm clothes this year. The lows will be in the 40's and highs only in the 60's.

We'll be leaving early Saturday morning for the 14+ hour drive. That's 14 hours of listening to Knute (The Heathen) babble endlessly about nothing. He very seldom even turns on the radio. And just to clarify;No, he doesn't "turn me on."

I want to look my best while fishing so I bought another new pair of jeans and various colors of pocket T-shirts. Do you think a red T-shirt will make me look fat?

I'm still in the process of selecting which rods and what tackle to pack. That's always a problem poser for me. I most definitely will take the Paca Toad Seniors for the weed bed bites along with spinner baits, trick worms, and several color assortments of Zoom Super Flukes. Lipless crank baits and also crappie terminal. I'll also need my Boga Grips for handling the stray Northern along with lip spreaders.

I know I need to be organized and have a spread sheet list like Geofisher has but I prefer to just wing it (too lazy to really organize).

All of that can wait just a bit as I'll be on the river this afternoon with onemorecast56 and his friend,Linda. I need to test out a new 8'6" catfish rod I purchased yesterday.
