It goes to prove that no matter how well you know a body of water, those dang sharks will still rise up and bite your lower unti. So far, insurance co. is being pretty good about getting me back on water.

Was in 7-10 fow on a spot I have traveled over hundreds of times. Found a rock hump about 10' around that I never knew was there. (Oshkosh) Well, on the bright side, found a new smallie spot

Or as Red Green would say, nothing a little duct tape won't fix.

Glad to see you are going to be back in business soon.
