The ice is too bad down my way to get to any mark. I've the world of rigs tied and ready to go but that's not much good if i can't get to the sea. Today is the worst i've seen the roads yet so sad to say it'll be a while yet before i get to wet the lines. All the fancy gear i got over christmas is just sittin in the corner of my room making it even worse. Tying rigs is a good thing to keep the hands busy when you're tryin to give up the ciggys though.

Tight lines if ya can get to the water i suppose
