Welcome fisnfool. Glad to have you. I noticed you didn't mention a sonar unit. A flasher is not absolutely necessary, but does make for a far higher success rate!!!! I didn't have one last year and went with a friend of mine who did. Our holes were 5' apart... same lure.... same presentation. He outfished me 5 to 1. Guess what... this year I have a Humminbird 386 CI for primary use and a Vexilar FL-8 as a backup.Where abouts are you located?
was that you icebucket I saw at Woodstock ? I was on the hill in the mud.
