I was just wondering why does everone pull out there boats so early, even Al Linder praises the western basin for a trophy of a life time this time of the year. Or is it you lucky guys that live on ol" erie get burned out by this time, just wondering, becouse ever chance I get to wet a line I'm there their baby!! It's not to hard to drain the blocks if the cold weather is the factor. Please let me know why everone seems to guit OCT. 30. Just curious, Till next year be safe on the ice & tight lines through the holes. happy Thanksgiving and have a Merry Christmas & healthy New Year PAP.
