I'll check to see if they left me any scraps, I have to see if they are there like last February. Get ahold of me Mike, hopefully we can find them quickly.

I know its a guessing game for the most part, but are we thinking a 50 yard move is good, or more like 300-400 yards. Is it fewer longer moves, or many shorter moves. I'm just throwing it out there. I know our inland lakes are different where a 25' move can make all the ddifference. Erie is a monster.

Thoughts?
