Settle donw Don and listen to the wife, much like you listen to what the fish are telling you on the water.... listen to the wife, she can make or break your fishing career....She's trying to tell you to Relax.....

Jim don't let this snow set you back, keep the rush in your head and think spring... it's almost here.

Thanks Mike, i little far for me to travel for now, I'll wait for spring to get closer,then I'll hit some shows.

Where is D&R Sports? I'm over here on the eastside of Michigan they call it the Sunrise side.....so it's a long travel.

Well bought 2 12 pound weights today, that's not much, but you see we're in a crunch to pay down our house... sort of a spending hiatus......that's why sh'es fighting me, other then that she doesn't put up a fuss at all, even when I bought the 26" flatscreen and surround ound for the boat, yeah Kind don't need that for fishing, but that's a great thing to have for when fish aren't biting......don't worry guys I'll get the fish finder and the probe, I just want to make sure I'm going to get the absolute lowest price..., I have the fihfinder and DSM 300 down to 1000.00 total now, from 1600.00 I'lll beat them up some more.

Mike your a genius..... that's what I'm going to say to her, and then I'm going to buy her flowers......it'll work, then on to the fish finder....

Thinking you might want to reinforce that keel on your hull, maybe with a sheet of stainless steel, in order to push the ICE away from the boat, and oh that aluminum prop, might want to change that out to steel as well, sort of like a blender type prop. Or you could just follow the Coast Gaurd and their new Ice Breaker... Much easier Mike....

Let us Pray......Dear Lord, clear the Ice so that Mike can get out on the water to Fish...aaahhhhhhhhmen

Oh I know those plans all to well, I'm going to wait a few weeks let the fire dim down and then it's going to appear in the UPS pile.......then it will hit the fan... for sure.

Well she's fighting me on the new Fish Hawk 4x that I want to buy,I need a better approach with her.... come on give me one guys,,

Oh Man u guys....... what's the matter with you, has it been too long since you've rub your boat....... what's the deal. I wax my boat 3 times a year, I make sure the samon Love the way she looks......The boat man The boat..

of coarse I was talking about my boat......i would never wax my wife....ewww

Dar right it is, a bad day on the water is better then the best day in the office.

We went to our boat a few weeks ago, took the new fish pole and went and tradedthem in on New Wire line roller poles......The best part, was seein the boat again, though it was so cold in that barn.....We had a nice visit wit her, Wow I have so much I want to dow with her, I want to wash her all over.... I want to rub hot wax on her all over...I want to full her full of water and fuel....I can see myself riding her and hitting the waves with her.....and all the whle My Wife will be sitting right beside me.....Loveing me and gettingready to drive her in the trolling mode.....Ahhh....that was good.

Ok , Here's another very tough well dumb question.....

Is there A Rod Limit per angler? Just thought I'd ask....

When We're out in the water, we see ballons everywhere either deflated or still inflated, We recover as many as we see, and it's starting to bother me alot. Also cigarette butts on the beach is getting to me also, I'm getting a little pissed off thinking that the smokers can use the beaches and the waters as theioir personal ash tray......I don't think so...

Ken, we're going to bounce off the bottom in some shallow water to test the ratio theory. I figure 50 FOW should do, maybe a little deeper to test for accuracy.

It's Wednesday nigt chat night is anyone going to chat tonight?

I'm going to be online about 8:15pm, have to pick up the kds at 8 am from CCD.

I had them put 30# wire on my dipsey rods, haven't had a chance to use them though, the snow is killing me, I cannot wait to get this white crap out of here.

Sorry to hear this Adam, that sounds like a very generic trailer though, We have a sled trailer, so I put Polaris signs all over it very large, and I never unlock it from my hitch when we're sledding. Doesn't mean it won't get stolen though, but....

I'll keep my eyes peeled for your friends trailer......keep looking on Craigs list though, most criminals are stupid.

Try this website, they are expensive though..All Aluminum too.

What did you think about Jennifer and her State of the State address? What about the Wind Turbine energy she talks about, what about the Michigan made products she wants us to buy?

Do you really believe that the jobs will come back to Michigan,through energy,renewable or not, Electric Cars, what about Electric boats?

What did you think about the "Promiss zones" it's the promiss of impoverished neighboorhood (10) of them the promiss of free college. To raise the greatness of our Young?

What about "No Worker Left Behind"?

Come on give your two cents on the State of The State....

Reason I'm asking, I am a small business owner, we're 80% Automotive selling component parts to Twir one automotive suppliers, and I'm concerned about business in Michigan. And always , always looking for new business and new oppurtunities for my company to gain ground and make money for my family,What about you guys?

Mike, maybe that rampage 380 could break the ice.... he he let me know and I'll follow with my Sea Ray.... oh i can run th heater with the Genie on as well.......

Is there a place where young mariner wanna bees can apply and get a job aboard a vessel?

Yes I just seen where my fishing shop just took delivery of a new load of them, even sent for 2 8'6" rods from Milwaukee for me. Put 2 convector 45's on them,can't wait to us them.

gentlemen, hat was very inspiring, I'm learning so much just reading other posts....but ho do you know how deep your dipsey is when your running on the outside..like I'm uing wire line now on all my dipsy's but if ru out 200 feet, how do I know how deep it will be at....
