An Outstanding Job by Joe last night. Had a good solid turnout of people and a lot of them enjoyed his presentation immensely.

I learned a few things as well myself. Hope to employ some of them if mother nature cooperates

He threw some Pissah Plugs on the Raffle Table too...

Thanx Again Joe for doing this....Great Job by a Great Speaker

It was very nicely done. The "hands on" display seemed to be hit with the crowd. Thanks for all extra work on your part, I truly believe it's the best way to learn.

My favorite segment was your lesson on how to scout a body of water with charts and maps before you even set foot on it. It's becoming a lost art. There is no greater satisfaction than reading a map, developing a game plan, and then having a successful day. All in a location you've only seen on paper. I'll bet it inspired a few people in the crowd to break away from fishing the same old spot on their "favorite pond" and explore new water.

OMG! This was off the hook. First class presentation with lots of tips. I will never approach ice fishing the same way again. I have been enlightened. Thank you Joe!
