The seminars for December are as follows...

December 10 -- Perfecting Your Ice Gear
Host(s): Corey Bechtold
Description: Augers need to be running properly, hooks need to be sharpened, reels need to be ready to withstand our harsh winters… a lot of things to do in order to ensure and productive ice fishing season. Corey will go over the much-needed details of making sure your ice gear is in perfect order this winter! Plus… learn a few new tips and techniques of making your own jigs and creating “new” plastics!

December 17 -- Ice Fishing as a Team
Host(s): Jack and Grete Baker

Will the place be full? Just wondering if I should be early (not that it matters as I'm sure I can find something I need).
