Cant wait to make it down to the ohio river next march for some wiper action. skip jacks are all they use. after hitting the ohio river dams I'm heading down to pensacola fl. Were having a really late indian summer. Havent even had a frost yet!!! Boats still in the water!!! Just installed a 400watt engine heater as well.

I have a few channel cats in my pond. They mostly feed on the alewife herring in there and at night they cruise the shoreline inhaling the small bluegills that are sleeping. Channels are a very aggressive species.

Dan,the engine heater sounds like a great investment.a battery heater pad draws jack #*&!...nice finish touch.
