Nice job on the New's letter. The only problem is that i have read it front to back and have to wait on the next one. Still looking for some open water. Wifie and I just walked down to the river behind the house, it is froze solid. bummer. Again hats off, great job guy's

The Newsletter looks great. I feel sorry for the non members who don't get one. This is the best on yet. Christine has done another outstanding job on the newsletter and she let me fold them.

Jonny b....there was still some open water over at Clinton Lake.The ramps are all froze up, but there look to be some great areas to walk the banks if I only had a back back frame where I could throw in a battery and hit the shore line at nite. I am sure the big ones are up on the bank.

Just received mine yesterday and, like my brother, read it from cover to cover already! I'm expecting withdrawals until the next one.

Great job Christine! and all those involved!

Kendall should get most of the credit again. He does most of the work and then I dink around with the stuff. I tried for 20 minutes to get that page number on page three to not be dorked and finally gave up. (got it fixed now, after the first 40 newsletters went out) [:-]

Thanks also to Dean Adams for the article on canning carp!

Thanks for the kind words. We.... I mean Christine, needs your help though. Keep sending pictures, articles, any questions for the Biologist column and suggestions to improve your newsletter.

Got mine too!

I started looking through it in the snow as I walked to the house from the mailbox.

Very nice. I liked the pix on the front page. Those 2 speices do occasionally get mistaken for each other, don't they?

I think that new competition will take off too. Could be some nice payouts there. After all, anybody can get big fish, even a shorebound new guy with a 30 pound bow and a hand wound spool. It really is up for grabs.

I got mine yesterday. Thanks guys! It looks better than the last one.

... and that says a lot since the last one was great.

Great job on the newsletter; I appreciated the pictures.
