April remains cold! Still in the minus to just above zero! We continue on our quest to catch the elusive arctic Sheefish without success.
(With the cold weather though, not too many folks have had any luck so we don't feel so bad!)
April 21 and it has finally cleared up and warmed up. The sheefishing is going just fine and Cathy and Gary had come to town for a few days too.
The next day we went out again and caught some more fish while Cathy and Gary crossed the sound and came back with some rabbits.
The next Friday night April 28th and once again we suceed.
