And back to our regular program.

Paddles, I'm happy with the season. Some things could be changed and probably would beneficial, but to be honest my biggest problem this year was getting a chance to go out. Got caught right in the middle of a move. I look at paddle archery like rifle deer. Lot of people in a short time and an extension might help this. But you know what, we know how long the season is. Plan for it and take some days off during the week. And I know, that's a lot easier said than done for most of us. But it might just be a guys best bet. B/C archery paddlefish is fun, a lot of people have weekends off, it's just going to be crowded and tougher S,SU. One thing I would like to see from the NGPC is letting us all know earlier when the seasons will be. I know some need a lot of advance for vacation time. So IMHO, I'm happy with the preference point change we got. $21 isn't bad at all compared to what it takes to get there, motor the boat, and drinks etc. I have a savings account for my outdoor needs and I use that. I'll give something up one week and put that money into my fund. I have 0 paddy's to-date, but I've had a hell of a good time each time I went. So let's enjoy each other's success, enjoy the fact that we have the opportunity and watch out for pontoon dikes.
