You boys are making me sick! AAll the hunting seasons have ended here, and nothing to do but reload ammo and scan through Cabela's and Bass Pro catalogs. I'd get out the boat but it won't settle into the lake for the ice. Hell of a time to try working a stickbait too! I run an Astro basser with a 115HP Mercury when the ice thins out. Our bass fishing is mainly for smallmouth in deep resovoirs where I live. I also fly fish the rivers when I'm not in the boat. I enjoy fishing for about anything but those smallies are my favorite. Nothing like a sending down a deep jig and feeling that pull on the end of the line! Now that you got me going, I'll have to dig out that fishing program to settle myself down. You southerners enjoy! Glad to hear there are some other bassers out there. A few more months and off I go. By the way I do live near that rotten grounhog Punxsutawney Phil. I loaded up some .223 blitzkings last night with his name on them. Rick
