icewalker2, I'm in Aberdeen and It is kind of like the dead sea on the SD part of this site. I'm kind of getting back to the fishing myself after some medical problems over the last couple of years. I didn't get on the water much last summer and only got on the ice about five times or so this winter. I have a lot of making up to do this summer. I bought a new boat last March and only got 22 hours on it last summer. I hope this summer will be much better and I hope Oahe is hot this year. I understand it was until we got this last blast of cold weather.
