My brother Kenneth forwarded an email he recieved from Captain Keith Wils. Long story short...Keith found a pretty good bite yesterday evening. Keith and his clients had their 1st bite at 5:40 and 10 fish in the box by 7:00 pm!!! I ran to McDonalds this morning for breakfast and checked the Gladstone launch on the way. Someone had just pulled out a short time earlier (it might have been the really nice Warrior 193 I saw getting gas at McDonalds). Anyway, the launch has some ice, but not enough keep you from launching (yet). If the forecast holds true, there should be no problem through the weekend. Good luck out there folks and be safe. As for me, I might go check the ice on some inland lakes today...
