    Nice! Man that water temp is dropping fast. Was still in the mid forties at the surface a little over a week ago. Went to go out after New Years and after hooking the boat up glanced at my sticker and realized that my renewal was due on the first, crap! Looked through some papers on my desk and there was the renewal form from over a month ago. Hopefully we are not in for a long freeze, I really want to go back out.

    Glad to hear you still caught some fish after all that commotion. I know of some trout areas in Western Maryland the otters just about wiped out.
