Took a bicyle ride into erwin pond on the state game lands today. Caught 28 gils and 2 crappie, one was about 10 inches. If they would open the gate I would like to take my jonboator small canoe in there with some minnows. It is a 20 minite bike ride for an old fat guy so I can't carry much fishing stuff on a bicyle. They used to open the gate for spring turkey season. Maybe if enough people complain we could get it opened like the people did at park station this winter.
