[cool]I went to this class last year as a novice at ice fishing that thought I kind of knew what I was doing, and came away from this class, realizing that I really didn't have much of a clue about ice fishing before the class! James was awesome, and taught me quite a bit. If I remember right, he didn't even charge, and had donuts afterwords. Hell, I'd go back just for the donuts![

Seriously though, if any of you are rookies to ice fishing, or if you've been doing it for a year or two, but wonder why you get skunked or almost skunked everytime you go out, COME TO THE CLASS. You will learn a lot, and your success rate will drastically INCREASE. I caught a lot more fish after the class for the rest of the year. I never got skunked once after that class except for the BFT ice party at Rockport, but there was like 200 people all in the same area, with 4 wheelers and snomobiles going by, and people stomping around everywhere, so I think that had a TON to do with it. Plus we weren't out very far either.
James, don't know if i'll be at the class in the store (depending on work) but I'll probably be out on the ice with you guys. Who knows, maybe Chris (Aquaman) will hook back up with the Lost Creek Monster again![
