Almost forgot

Campers Village and Fishin' Hole: Outdoor Sale and Show
Mayfield Trade Center Thu, Mar 25, 2010 - Sun, Mar 28, 2010

It started on Thursday, and I had completely forgotten about this one. They usually have some pretty good deals there. And it is FREE!

A new season, a new look

It is just about time to get back into "fishing" mode. As you may have noticed things went a bit silent around the blog over the winter. I am just not much of an ice fisherman. Hate the cold!

Anyways.... Blogger has a new feature so I thought I would try it out and have changed the look of the blog. Hope you like it.

I plan on doing more posts here in the very near future. Things for us at Fawcett Lake usually start around the May long weekend. That is generally when we get the dock back in the water along with the boats. Weather permitting of course.

Going to search out the new regulations as soon as I hit the publish button for this post. Expect another post very soon.
