8. The cooling water temperature is making the bass fishing better and the Walleye fishing should continue to build as well.
9. Please write the Fish and Boat Commission and express your concerns to them. We can provide you with email addresses if you need them.
10. Linda and I will be traveling to Mt. Pocono on Tuesday to shoot a television show with Alex and JoAnne Zidock. The show will air next Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then in a couple weeks it will be on the Out In The Open web site for a week. We will try to let you know when you can view it on the web site.
11. For those of you who have not exchanged a Rod & Reel for a Bow & Arrow or a Fire stick, now is a great time to catch some quality smallmouth. Remember to be safe when fishing in cold conditions. Where your life jacket and take a friend with you because one slip into 40 degree water could be life threatening.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND LUV THE TUG………REB
