Steve Carney is under a foot of snow and he’s not happy about it

About this episode

Steve Carney discusses the unexpected snow and its impact on fishing and boating conditions.

Steve was on open water 70 degrees earlier this week and now there’s more snow. He’s noticing A TON of algae, enough to be disruptive. That’s not supposed to be there until July or August. The Steves talk about the forecast over the next few weeks and how that’s going to impact the ice and lakes as we move into (hopefully) a proper spring. Carney speaks to the necessity of a battery meter to make sure you know the health of your boat battery.
