Smallmouths, Non-Liquid Diet!

[PGAProfishional]

Gentlemen,

Thanks for the kind words and the support! You guys are sweethearts, you're great! I can't begin to tell you how much fun we were having out there, hooting and hollering! We kept it classy and respectable though...lol.

As for me I'm now hooked. I'm looking at Tip-ups, more jigging rods, and augers as I write this...

NJBassman, Pete, Thanks again for the invite. I learned so much from you out there. It was like a crash course in brain surgery! Getting the opportunity to Hand-line Smallmouth was EPIC! I'm hoping to get out there a bunch more (on the Ice) this coming week.

Iceehot, Mitch, Thanks for all the incite, not only about the body of water we were fishing and others, but it was more about the many different (seasonal) tactics and techniques to trigger strikes.

It will be nice to eventually climb out of the beginner Ice fisher ranks and move to the novice, but like so many of you have said in the past "You gotta be in it, to win it" Right now I'm just enjoying this new found art!

Eddie, we would have loved your company and I feel really comfortable saying, that you would have had a blast hanging out with us! We kept it light had a lot of laughs. I don't take life to seriously, after all, nobody gets out alive.

Jeremy, The Ice was thick, maybe 9-10'', possibly more. I'm certainly not complaining when I say this, but the snow was rather deep in areas, making it a bit of a challenge to relocate.

I really hope I have the opportunity to meet up with many of you this season (2014). Please don't be a stranger, drop me a PM anytime. I'd love to fish with you.

Best Wishes...
