Appreciate it Slip……I’m really looking forward to this year on the water……to remove the stress and demand of work will make the enjoyment of fishing that much better……just very fortunate that the Navy stationed me in Norfolk, Virginia and I was able to fish in North Carolina and discover this region…..it was easy to build my home right in the middle of great fishing…..good luck this year, every time I hear Michigan right now it seems like another snow storm, don’t know how you folks deal with it like you do…,lll
