There is not an off season for him. Contributes to the ice fishing forum and spoke to the PISC meeting on ice fishing tactics.
He produces year after year. Has numerous fifties to his credit. Does C&R these days. Never hesitant to share advice when asked, and he is the first one I solicit because he has the experience, time on the water, and has thought it through.
This year, last year, or next year. Doesn't matter. It is kind of an ongoing thing with Joe!

Well stated. The time and money Rockfish9 has unselfishly donated to promote the sport of fishing and the art of plug building is definitely worthy of recognition. Several times this year he has forfeit fishing (no matter how good it was) in order to accept speaking/seminar invitations from our various groups and clubs. Many years ago you changed the way I targeted striped bass, and it has been paying off in spades for almost as long.
Thank You Joe for being such a great ambassador to our sport!
