Thanks Jim, good to hear you are coming of the injured reserve list; I hope it was nothing too serious. We need you and it will be good to get you back so you can contribute to the south's victory over the north this year. 
Had a good day yesterday but only one respectable 26 1/2 incher, all the others were cutters -- 20 -23 inchers. Still, lots of fun even in the cold weather.
Fritz-- Will keep you in mind as this social distancing thing starts to ease up. I gotta be careful with that stuff cuz wife and I would both be gone if it visited our home. Better times to come.
Went out again this a.m. I made a run to Provo Bay... nothin' there. Went back to my old hunting grounds out in front of the first spring and marked lots of fish (carp?) and managed to ketch one good cat. He taped out at 27 inches, might have stretched him to 27 1/2 with a third hand. Good, calm weather and lots of boats out.
Passed Mike (MSM1970) on the road as he was heading out to maul the eyes again. He got past me in his truck before I could give him a thumbs up. Overcast skies and ripple on the water probably had him hyped to get on the water.
The DWR was there today checking licenses and quagga certification. Nice and friendly guy. First time in 10 years at Lincoln that I have ever had to produce my license for a warden. He was looking for certification dertificates placed on the dash of all vehicles launching boats. Looked like a couple of outfits were denied launch??
Craig-- Good to see you again. I wasn't sure if you were coming or going when I met you at the dock. Hope you had a good day. Every day is a "flotilla" day for me because I have put in my time at the salt mines and am now reaping the benefits of being unencumbered by the demands of gainful employment. As you know, retirement is great and I highly reccommend it. My only regret is that I did not retire 20 or maybe 30, or even 40 years sooner.
The best is coming.
