Love the reports - we are going to see below 10* Monday night

Pelicans are too cool - be good to them. Might be same ones guide us to fish up here in May.

I have learned to cut the skin of a trigger by cutting it from the inside out using my regular filet knife; there is just no way to cut through their skin unless you have a saws-all. I also cut it all the way around on each side as you suggest. I remove the skin as we normally do with a rock fish. I tried peeling it off on a fish once, but it left an inner layer of membrane that was fairly tough.

Temps are forecasted to be -3* out my way in Woodbine. Sorry to have to miss it.

Mark (Mlag) told me he has been cleaning your driveway after every snow storm I think you owe him about $400 so far. Of course, this one might be a big storm and worth about $100 just for tomorrow's cleaning.

Story I heard was Mark was piling snow in Don / Dawn's driveway - 4 1/2 feet deep by now.

Then there is the 12 foot tall snowman ........................

Those are some really pretty fish! I've always thought the tropical reef fish were much nicer looking than our plain Jane perch, although our perch will go toe to toe with just about anything on the culinary front...
