		well what can I say, it has been a soft year for ice fishing. My lake never completely froze this year. 
  
people hundreds of miles south got more snow than we did here in south east michigan.
  
makes for a difficult season.
  
I did manage to get out three times this year, I did add one more species to the list of fish I caught this winter, 8" perch, a pair of them, they made it to half a sandmitch but not on film.
  
hopefuly next year we will get some better ice, I am kinda expecting a rough winter after the drout we will have this summer. (that is if the 11 year pattern I am seeing holds)
  
so stock up on ice tea.
  
any way thanks for all the entries. I do apreciate them.
  
every one who entered will receive a pair of walleye leaders, the winner will receive a full set.
  
I will catch ya on the ice next year,
