my favorite local water | 
Best of 2003. Most memorable. SLOOOWWW witching a grannie back to the boat, maybe 12 feet out I let it suspend in the clear water for a long time to me, 15 seconds. She suddenly blazed in from underneath and hammered the bait. | 
My ice fishing instructor, Mr. Bluegill, just won't leave when the fish are biting. |

Rachel catches bait for my quick-strike rigs. | 
LATE nite upper 30's fish | 
Rachel's biggest fish, about 20#s river carp. What a battle, it was like reeling a German Shepard. We had to use light muskie gear for the big ones. |
