Made the trip down to Sebago to fish with a few more IS members. We did very well. 25 nice togue and a cusk. On the roster was Buddah, Billditrite, Lefty, Fiddlehead, Oldbluuuuu,Nofishin, Tbtool, Bluefin, Dadstacklebox, Flag, my cousin Justin and a buddy Silias. You couldn't of asked for a better day to be on the ice. Great food, great people and just super fishing!!!  Here's a few pics from the day.
