Hmmmmmm… Do I detect a budding author???? Since Kelly won’t write “On the Trail Part Two”, maybe a fourth generation URL’er should take up the task. Seriously, I don’t know how you, Kelly, Buddy and others have the nerve to do what you do – especially at early ice time. As I grow older I get more cautious. I remember a couple of years ago when Doc suggested we jump the pressure ridge to get to the crappie highway. I was driving and said, “let’s think about this for a minute”. We ended up looping around to the North instead of taking the short cut. Best decision I ever made. Good Post Jonny and thanks for the updates.
