Hope the transition back North went as smoothly as possible. It always sounded like you really loved TX so bet it did pull at your heart strings to move away.
Not sure how the weather has been out in Iowa, but our winter here was about as mild of a Northern Ohio winter as i have seen in my 40 years. There are a few guys really itching to get out and fish the walleye run of the Maumee and Sandusky rivers...... but they are still a few weeks too early for it. A couple fish here and there are actually being caught but no decent push of fish yet. I personally do not care for the combat fishing that goes on in the rivers and will wait till they start coming up close to shore in my local reservoirs. Think i am down to my last 2 frozen walleye in the freezer too!!! The walleye bug sure bit me good over the last few years.
Looking forward to seeing and hearing about how the jig biz goes for you. I do graphics for print/web/promotion advertising so might be able to help you out (or at least point you in the right direction) if you ever need promotional items or information. If you still talk to Quint, tell him i can engrave pictures on just about what ever he wants now with a new fancy laser engraving toy we got in our shop. He wanted something a while back and i couldn't really do it then, but i lost my note about it.
