Well I have been slacking on my posting lately, but I have been out fishing 6 times since my last post. The fishing hasn't been great but we have gotten some fish here and there.
Crappie Keith,

Those are some great looking fish, what state are you fishing in?

On a different subject, winter is finally here in northern MN. We got some snow over new years and big trucks are finally driving on the ice.

Good luck fishing to everyone, I am going out again tonight.

I don't know the lakes towards the cities very well, but hopefully someone on here can help you.

Hattrk,

I am jealous of both of those pictures. We had some good hunting days this fall but nothing like that.
