Though we are smack dab in the middle of the turkey season and I have yet to fill, it looks like I will be fishing the mighty Missouri River this weekend instead. Brother-in-law called to see if we had plans for this weekend and my youngest boy said "turkey hunting," but then remembered he has lifeguarding classes today through Sunday so no hunting for him.

Took the boat down to the river last night to make sure I solved the problem I stumbled upon last fall where water was not coming out of the peephole. It hurt that I only had enough time to back down the ramp, turn the motor over, make sure the engine was pissing as it should, and then head back home. At least I know everything works. Have the charger on the last battery as we speak so now just need to buy some minnows, find my jigs, and have it all in the boat waiting for Saturday morning.

Bring on the walleye!

P.S.
I WILL be bringing the shotgun along just in case a gobbler is dumb enough to show himself while we are fishing. Now THAT would be a cool combo, fish and feathers all from the same outing.
