As far as the spring bite goes - two weeks ago I was at Bills Hooks and I was talking to Gerry. I believe that is her name. I went to buy some torpedo divers and OR16 clips. She said that a few years ago when the lake did not ice over it was a very tough year fishing. I am hoping it ices over soon. I do not want to see it harder to catch fish than it is now. As far as diner I opted for the Mako shark sandwich. It was very good. The boat show was a lot smaller than it has been in the past. It use to be at least double the size that it was. They had many boats 2,3,4, & 5 years old on display. And those weren't cheap. There was another sportsman show going on at the same time. I saw many carrying around bows in cases. Probably for some competition.
