Thumbs up to our anglers for a good start to what has turned into an unusual year. Here’s hoping that opportunities continue to arise for folks to get out on the water. Send them my way when you catch them at troy@troyjacksonoutdoors.com. Top 5 Update coming your way Monday and check back often as I have plenty of stuff to submit as time permits. Talk to you later.
