6. I know I keep saying this but we are expecting Dave’s new boat any day. We have put extra thought into this design to specifically aide us in our Catfish Trips.
7. Please write the Fish and Boat Commission and express your concerns to them. We can provide you with email addresses if you need them.
8. I believe we have the 80 degree water behind us now and the bass fishing should continue to improve.
9. We fed over 60 people at our Annual Fish Fry this year. We had Halibut, Salmon, Ling Cod, Yellow Eye and Walleye. We also had marinated venison steaks, corn on the cob, hamburgers and hot dogs. Thanks to Kermit Henning for providing the great sweet corn and to Dave Neuman for providing the ice.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND LUV THE TUG………REB
