Caught some nice gills yesterday. Open water berks co. Hardly worth driving to tusk or chunk to  Stand on sketchy ice & catch nada

 Been walleye hunting the past 2 weeks or so..... got bit-off by a musky or two(haven't seen them since), hooked up with some cats and a few suckers. Finally got a walleye yesterday.... Sadly he was hooked in the tail so had to let him go.


The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
