Unfortunately, I've decided to skip the outing for a few reasons. I have problems driving in the dark, so the long drive would give me a late start. The long walk to the stumps for an out of shape old guy also isn't appealing, plus from past reports, it seams like it's more of a tip up lake, and I'm a jigger. Although I do enjoy meeting new people, my partying days are over, and would probably be heading home by eleven. Hope the fishing is good, and all enjoy a great day on the ice.
