Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | Unless my buddy at Fiberdome works extremely fast, spring is not allowed to get here until the middle of April!
Warm weather and no boat is not a good combination. |

Location: Hugo, MN | Wow sucks to be you GMG . . . I am happy to report the conditions in Sioux Falls as mild, and no snow. So what if I have to drive 2 hours to catch a musky?
See you all in Eastern Cornland. |

Good read. I'm familiar with many of the Pete tactics. That whitebass comment is right on. In fact in the heat of summer that is what I look for as forage base. |
