Funny how those B-day things work, mine arrives every year with more gray hairs and a few more aches and pains. Don't think we'll make it up there this ice season. Once mid may comes I'll be up once a month at least, I hope. One other question for ya. I have a friend who's uncle just bought a condo on Big St. Germaine. Possibly going ice fishing up there end of February. I know that's near your old stomping grounds. Any nearby lakes that have decent spots where you would be able to walk to your fishing area. We don't have sleds/atv's. Just going to be hoofing it by foot.
