thats right. Eric may get 50 in a morning. we may get over a thousand per hour.four to five thousand for a morning outing. larry that has been draining the ponds has released over 600 smallies in 4 days! and the fish will get more active. rich

Did Steve K bring his boat?

Sorry, Ed . . . last night came down with a bad sore throat, congestion and fever. Stay tuned tho . . . my boat will indeed make its way to Shabbona one of these days (maybe even later next week if I can shake this cold). Thanks for asking.
