It was nice to meet you Dale. Even though the catching wasn't all that great (I sure missed my fair share of hits) it was still a good day fishin with good company. As you said the boys are getting pretty good at catching fish on their own. My son will out fish me quite often. I guess I need to make him start baiting his own hook, that will slow him down.
If it wasn't mentioned above there is quite a bit of slush on the ice. I think we all had wet feet when we left. The edges are getting soft as well. We did see some guys come out with their wheelers and they had a hard time getting on and then getting to the middle. Once they got to the middle where it last froze they seemed to be ok. They rode all they way to the Taylor Hollow area from the ramp. After seeing how the ice looked a couple weeks back I can't say that I would have done that. We left before they did so I assume they made it out ok, but I bet they got wet. I broke through jumping off the ice.
