Thanks and good luck

Re: 2021 Frostbite Fleet Salmon Shootout Announcement

Unfortunately I will not be up for the frostbite shootout but it sounds like a good time! I’ll be out tomorrow morning in the IS - (it’s going to be chilly) have the salmon been active? I picked up a fishhawk TD to target water temps.
Good luck out there everyone!
