Would have liked to see that. Hope to see and do a bunch of happy dances in a couple days. Beefed up my gear with a new rod & reel for this season.

Good to hear from you TCW. I hope things are going as good as they can. Plan a trip down with the school buddies. You more than likely need a good outing with the boys.

Default Walleye From Shore

Hey guys I'm new to the area. Moved to Medicine hat from Grande Prairie in March. Haven't moved my boat down here yet so I'm going to be fishing from shore for awhile. Where would I have better luck catching walleye from shore....Sherburne or Chin? Thanks for any advice.
