I told mrdux yesterday that if a man had previously told me that you could stand in a boat in the middle of Blood River on April 9th at around noon, turn 360 degrees looking in every direction and not see another single boat on the water.. I would call that man a liar.

Folks, he wouldn't have been lying yesterday.

I guess most folks were just smarter than us and called it a day before they got sunburned.

I caught a handful with my little girl on Friday but a handful has pretty well been the rule for me this year. If it hadn't been for the good company, yesterday would have largely been a bust.

I've not seen it this bad on the lake in a long, long time.
