I was on my way to the taping gathering with my middle son Michael !! We made it to Danville and they had rt2 shut down !!! There was a head on 2 car collision!! The roads were very icy so for one of the few times I thought the right thing to do was turn around and head home !!! I am sorry I missed the evenings events looks like a great time was had by all !!! Per usual Ron did a great job!! Ill try to make the next session!!! Sleeps

[Reel Delight (Walt)]

Thanks again Ron and all the workshop sponsors! I especially want to thank Onyx as a sponsor because I just tried on the ArticShield jacket & pants and they fit me perfectly and feel darn comfortable too. Guess what I will be wearing for the next Frostbite Derby?

[digitroll (ron)]

Nice grand prize photo for Gerry (Gecha) and the Onyx Arctic clothing for Walt. The guys that drove a long distance (north and south) 2.5 hours made out very well!

Sorry Sleeps had to turnaround. Better to be safe. We have the next one March 2nd.

Gerry (Raz) will get some good use out of the TD.

Sorry Curt (Kamel) I haven't figured out how to edit a You Tube video. Grazing is good!

Thanks for the photos Paul.

Thanks Kevin for helping out early.

[digitroll (ron)]

Andre,

The way Gerry's luck is holding we all better take notice for the shoot-out this year.

I remember that huge Muskie he caught fishing with you. Yikes!

[fishmaster176]

Great evening for a cold water fishing seminar. I'm surprised some of these guys weren't spending the night out on the lake. I listened to stories about frozen throttle cables and breaking ice to launch. This is one hardy/dedicated/crazy group of fishermen. Nicest group of folks that I've met in a long time. Can't wait for the March seminar.
Thanks to everyone that helped put this seminar together and donated to the cause.
