Thanks for the SPR update audieb.  Got to go there to catch some Kitties 

Might have to give the Hali's a break and go here, right next to my house.

Hey, that's me!

I couldn't get any kitties to bite my wad-o-nightcrawler soaking on the bottom, but that 8-lber slammed my Kastmaster about 10-15 feet down in about 60 feet of water while I was crossing the lake... Go figure.

I fish there also & can't wait next year opener
