So who's fishin this year. If your ripping lips, get some pic's.


No safe ice this year, so I was able to break my record of how early I could get the boat on the water. My previous was Feb. 20, 1986, this year was Feb. 12th.

Weather has been hit n miss all month, and finally crossed my first fish on March 1st.

Till the 20th I'd only caught 5 more like the first one. On the 28th. after freezing temps at night, snow and rain during the past few days prior, a sow finally came to the feeding trough. (ditch leading to spawning grounds)
