At least you are getting out...sadly i have not been...just too busy with the farm and weekends not joining up with my fishing buddy, so sad!! Oh well, i am too busy right now, and I am planning on giving the fish a beating(in a nice way....LOL) this winter once i get some downtime in...my buddy and I are going to his cabin twice this winter, so really looking forward to that!! Ahh pulling 15 pound lake trout through the ice along with a half to a dozen walleye per man plus a few other species like pike, lake trout and herring....ahh can't wait!!
