Welcome aboard eh !

Mine is good till 2012. I got mine right away when we were told. Why is your's expiring so fast ?

I really like my Ray Marine. 35 to 40 mph and can still read fish.

So much for hoping Scott.

Saweeeeet !!!!!

Thanks for the report. I hope to make it over there real soon !

This has been the toughest ice fishing season I have had in years. Can't put my finger on it, but I believe that it is the fronts coming through every couple of days. We need some stable weather to get a good bite going.

I went to Chamberlain's last year and LOVE them. They will have a booth set up this year in Grand Rapids for the fishing show. It will be a good chance to see them and talk with Keith that makes them.

Is the bite still tough at Hamlin ? I was there a week ago and didn't do so well. Worst trip to Hamlin in 30 years of fishing it.

Merry Christmas to you also ! Winter came early here too. I was ice fishing last Saturday.

Slip bobber on a dead stick rod while jigging a spoon or whatever I steal out of Adams shanty.

And here I thought you would be HAPPY to hear that !

You guy's are going to get sick of fishing with me this year ! New shanty and quad...I am ready.

I was ice fishing just north of Grand Rapids last Saturday.

Nice feeesh Ken. My boat is still waiting for a break in the weather,now that I am back from Florida.

That is great news about the perch !

I hope you get him !

It sure was Matt !!!!

He came in with a doe I watched them both for about 20 minutes before I could get a shot at him. He finally cleared the brush enough for me to squeeze a shot off into his chest. When I hit him he fell right over, then got up and took one bound and went down for good. It was one of my toughest shots to date, 125 yards through some thick blow down cover.

Congrats on your deer. I enjoyed reading your post.

Don't put it away yet !

Very nice ! Congrats !!!!

I prefer pyramid sinkers on my main line with a swivel below the sinker and about a 3' leader down to the spawn. You want the sinker to be able to slide thru the line so the fish doesn't feel the weight of the sinker. I never use floaters, but they are made with little balls of styrofoam tied in with the spawn in the spawn bag.

Good job Adam, Al and crew !
