Re: Grand Slam Saturday

That rock pile has claimed many over the years. Luckily it was just the lower unit and not the Hull. If the water was a lower it may have been much worse. Glad you guys got off safe. Safe travels over seas Gerry!

Re: Lamprey slaughterhouse

It's all about the Laplatte River! The Laplatte has the worst lamprey infestation on the lake. It has never been treated or trapped. Brian has been working for years to find a way to treat it. Hopefully he will tell us at the seminar that they will be treating this year. Bur don't hold your breath.
