Pellet size is a little larger, about the same as Lg. both are very clean burning. I don't have anything to scientifically gage the heat, but the La Cretes are hot. Zero fines in the bags also. The North Country burned nice for me as well, both are pretty solid pellets. What's the price of the NC's?

No firm pricing yet, but I think it will be 265/ton for spring buy. You definitely got a sweet deal !

 

[Hoot23]

$265 will be a good price for a good pellet.

My sister is short on cash so I gave her one of my pallets and she's gonna pay me when she can. But still sittin nice for next season.

Edit option isn't there now at all. I'm guessing there may be a time limit on the older posts?

Yeah, may be. I just went back to some of my postings from Feb and March. No edit option.

Might want to contact Webbie or some of the mods to see what the time limit is.

BTW, NH just had its first bass fishing tourny for high schools. If this went well, which it did: Big Time !, good chance they are making it an official high school sport here in NH.......
