Clint, I'm glad the ice was nice to you.. In 2 days of fishing I got SKUNKED, a little twisted too..lol
The weather was great but the fishing was less then dub par for us.. We had a group of 6 on Lake George sat and only iced 2 lake trout, by the same guy..
Then yesterday we had a group of 5 on a lake that fishes very well in the open water for big gills and only caught 2 small mouth bass, by the same guy again...
Don't know what it was but it sure was tough out there..
Ah well, there is always next time, at least for a little while yet ..
Electric Filet knives:
I too have the cheap wally world american (go figure) angler knife..
I love it and it still works great after many years of hard use.. I totally submerge the entire knife in water at times and it's still kicking..
Id buy another when this one finally craps out..
