Just a word of note. Last year Dad's wife Norma came down with lung cancer. She is doing well. Her cancer is in remission. Norma does not have full strength, but she still did alot of hunting this fall, geese, ducks, deer, antelope, and pheasants. Right now they are in Cancun enjoying the nice weather.

Our fishing tournament is April 24-25, 2010.
Mike, Thanks for the update. Everything Ive been seeing is not real rosy so far for 2010, but it has to pick up.

We fished one morning up in the basin for 3 hours, 3 guys and had not one bite. I had maybe 8 fish come up in the vexilar, but couldnt make them go. We seen numerous dead shad frozen in the ice and some that we still alive, but swimming on their sides just under the ice. On could assume that with all the dieing shad, that the eyes were full and not eating our offering.

We have been anxiously watching the weather for a break, but one can assume that with all the snow on the ground out there, that its gonna be slow to warm up.

I think Im making a trip next week, irregardless of the weather conditions, just to get it out of my system.

Sorry to hear about Norma! Glad to hear she is on the mend, especially since its in Cancun!

Anybody been boat fishing yet?
