The one area of the lake is not safe from what was posted there. It also lets you know how well the striker suit floats a person. Don't nee d to lose anymore people this winter be safe

To reiterate his words.... this is why I don't like to be out past dark. I enjoy the morning/afternoon in the daylight. If the bite does not turn on until evening then so be it. It's an inherent risk.....as is life in general.

Very happy to hear they made it out. Grateful for everyday.

Thank you for sharing Bill. Be safe fellas.
