Hey, me too. Left for awhile after that big thaw last year took the wind out of my sails

, also. Had to go north to get on good ice. Hoping for a better season, this winter. Getting pumped up & anxious, (again). I'm a little farther west than you, though, Calhoun & neighboring counties. Skipped the deer hunting to do some fall fishing. Was doing pretty well right up 'till the launchs froze around Thanksgiving. Oh well, shouldn't be long now. Good luck
