1,485 sq mi, or by my calculations: 950,704 acres.

That is this year, with the low water level! LOL

Oops...I forgot to take that into account. I'll run right out and measure it again.

Hi Steve,

With the exception of two weeks that had radical warming trends, one in August and one in October, I felt it was an above average season. Both in my boat, and customers in general. Lots of personal bests, first fish, and first 50's. Quite a few serious fishermen with 25-30 years experience finally cracked the magic number. Makes my life good. I see you did well again this fall. Great!

Thaks for asking,

Frank

Frank,

I will hope to be back up at your place this year if business improves. I will look forward to catching up with you at the Chicago Musky Show.
