sorry i didn't get to send you a christmas message. damn hard drive crashed and i was out of business for a while. anyhow, belated merry christmas. as big piccalo says, time to start thinking about fishing. millie said you have lots of snow and matt got a gig plowing for the metropolis of sioux narrows. good deal. water will probably be up with all that snow so hopefully i won't be whacking any rocks this year. keep us all updated on fishing thru the ice.
