...yeah it's time to take inventory for me too... ice and snow in the short term forecast... time to winterize and store the boat ;>(

Thanks Jeff but the conspicuous lack of Bluegills is a shame! Was happy to add four species never caught before however (Striped Bass ,Shad,Lady fish and Crevelle Jack ,and there is still two months left.
