Does this mean I need to bring my boat up for the burbot bash. All this warm weather,I am starting to wonder if the bash will get cancelled. Have you heard anything yet as to what the plans will be if there is no ice. Those are some nice lakers. Thanks for sharing the pics.

HAHAHA Looks like some Tarponjim photos. Thanks for posting fishly. I hope to one day catch some of those lakers. I have fished Kyle a few times and still looking. I think you need to HOOK me up on the ice this year.

if we get ice I can do that but like I have been telling all my clients the boat is better you can cover more country and find more fish and if it caps this yr you got the advantage of knowing a few areas vs one or two! just call it ice fish scouting from the boat![fishin]

Nice Fish Bonser!! How many fish are you getting in a day? Just a couple big ones or several throughout the day? Is the wind staying down to give you long hours on the Lake?
