What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
So got up early to do some ice fishing, caught and filleted some walleye. Bear battered them for the boys and I.

Walleye is my all time favorite seafood. We only get it around here during Lent, wait--no biscuit? What kind of a dump doesn't include a biscuit?

I know, I used to fish for walleye all the time but I've never heard anyone ever anyplace call pike, perch, bluegill, etc. fresh food or lake food but technically you are correct so I guess I'll just call it fish from now on.

The only fish you’ll see me cook that’s not from the grocery store are walleye. Not especially fun to catch, they have very little fight in them. You limit out and have a fish fry here’s some I caught with my brother in law a few years ago.

No fight at all. The occasional Bass made up for it though, as did the eating. rarely did we catch our limit though.

We would occasionally hook a steel head, man they were fun. They would jump out of the water 3-4 times by the time you got them in the boat.

Have you put new activated carbon in?
Yes, I have. I think the problem is probably on the mend by now, things are just still reacting. On a good note - my monti is kind of growing back!

Good to hear Walker, reefing is full of its ups and downs. How are the pups?
