ben it was very nice to meet you and get a chance to fish with you. for never being a winter fisherman before i'd say you stuck it out very well on a cold and windy day, sometimes the wind is just too much. we probably only caught around 7 or 8 fish and really only found them about the time we were getting ready to go. the fish were 14 ft.deep in about 25 ft. of water, and were caught on red and chartreuse slab busters. other than just meeting a new fishin guy in ben the best part of my day was ben showing me how to use my new gps i got for christmas. i had tried it a couple times on the simulator and was absolutely lost. after reading the manual twice i still couldn't pull up marktwain lake, ben showed me how to do it. i'm not saying the manual is bad but my comprehension of it isn't so good. hope we can do it again ben, thanks.
