Read Gary's column this week, and you'll have read mine. No sense in us both writing it, and he did a bang-up job.

Synopsis: Got home late Fri., put boat over just to check it out for first time this season, idled terrible, worked on it, got it right, took a quick run to the lake with no rods onboard, to find water levels incredibly shallow, more shallow than I've seen since the drought of 2001, and what little there was muddy as heck. Rest of weekend: 20-30 mph winds and I stayed home.

Maybe next week.
