i would go to Frankfort. Plenty of deep water not far from shore and the fishing is great. The Harrring Hole is about 3 miles south of the peirs and the water drops off fast 100+ foot water comes close to shore and not a long run back if the lake gets ugly. Good luck.

IMO one of the major issues with the increase is that it is a bandaid. Give the icrease now and it will fix the current problem, but what happens next? If they would get off their asses and work on a plan to fund the DNR from here on out I don't think people would be so negative. This short fall didn't happen over night, they should have been working on this years ago. With the licence sales dropping every year, to think they can raise fees to keep up is just plain out of the question. Why isn't there something like a 1/2 or 1 percent sales tax put on that would go straight to the DNR budget? There has to be a better way to fix the problem, if they expect the sportsman to foot the whole bill we will end up like France and a few other where only the rich can enjoy the sport. Once they come up with a better solution then increase fees and do things like habitat improvements on state land etc..

Sorry to hear that Rich. Look at it this way, she won't be suffering any more. Been there and done that myself a few years back and I know it's not easy. Good Luck and keep your chin up.

I took off the face mask for a picture. Man I like my hair like that..

I bet the face mask would have looked better:lol: :lol:

Nice going Rich snd Rich. But come on Rich, where is your hat. It's to friggin cold out there to not where a hat.

Well Rich

When I read that this morning I was going to call foul cuz I knew where you were yesterday afternoon, Figured I would wait and see if anyone fell for it.

Rich

If you don't get your trade, I will buy them outright.

I am with Priority1 on getting there as quick as you can to get the rod out of the holder and get to cranking and get the slack line taken up and put some pressure on the fish to keep him stuck. It don't take much slack for a fish to sit the hook so the sooner the better.

Well Friday Caz gave me a call about coming over to learn how to tie trolling flies so this afternoon I ran over to see how it was done. Rich did a great job showing and explaining how it is done and I tied 5 for my self and a 6th one that I screwed up and cut the thread on. Had a good time Rich, thanks for having me over.

Rich

Where do you get the tinsel for your flies? Dose Bob's handle it? I might have to run over and have you give me a lesson.

What are spinnies?

Rich

I think they are refering to spin doctors or fish catchers.

I hope it helps ya. There is no way you can get all the slack out of your line no matter how much you crank it down and with the rod in more of an upright postion it can help to get rid of some of the slack when a fish hits.

I have fished on a couple boats with the Cannon Speed and Temp and they are nice. It seemed to me they worked better than the Fish Hawk, less trouble comminicating between the probe and screen than the fish hawks I have seen operating. Only down fall I can see is the Cannon has to be put on the same rigger all the time where as the Fish Hawk can be moved to what ever rigger you want it on. If you have any questions on the Fish Hawk shoot Matt(bluedevil) pm, he has one on his boat.

Sea-Mac

What angle are your rods to the water when they are in the holders? IMO if they are to flat(level with the water) when the fish hit there is no tension on the line because the pole is not being bent enough. Any slack in the line and the fish will be gone. I prefer the rods be standing almost straight up down to a 45 degree angle so when it releases the rod takes up the slack and keeps pressure on the fish. Good Luck.

Whats unconstitutional are those ocean going ships bringing in all the invasive spices to our fresh water. They should be sued and made to pay to clean up the mess they have caused.

Thanks for the links Rich. Hay I heard you were looking to buy some pink spoons to decorate your boat, any truth to that?

Hey dude,

I do know where you hunting blind is:D You may find something big and brown on your floor in there.

Rich

Are you going to tie up that 12 point for me?Gee thanks.

Rich

The only pink will be on the Caz Attack. I heard Knee Deep came over to your hause for a visit and you 2 made some fishing plans. As I recall of the radio conversation you were the only one he was interested in.

sorry heavy actoin may have to interduce him this year:lol:

Caz said he was looking for a new crew this year, Knee Deep can crew for him.

Yupper the Banana Boat. Midway97 from the site has one just like it. I own a 79 Islander also but mine is an off white with red trim and the high cabin.

FUR BALLS , is that some kind of pet name or something becouse knee deep looking forword to meeting you now !

Dirty Dog

Knee deep is Caz's "freind", don't want to get mixed up in that

Hey Steve...Do you have a picture of the boat?

Mike

It's a 22 ft Starcraft Islander with the higher cabin.

KEEP IT UP FUR BALLS We need a sticker made up for Caz's boat, Something about being knee deep in pink, errr wanting to meet knee deep or something like thst.

Thanks for the Fish Porn SkeinMachine. That is some great footage, only took this slow arse connection over an hour to down load but worth it.

LMAO I like this friendly rivalry. Capt. Levi would never be the same, if a bunch of us chartered his boat. The Captain may even learn a thing or three. We could leave the bar @ 2:30, be on the dock @ 4:00, and proceed to show the good Capt. how to run a chum line.

But seriously I don't drink and boat.

I will bet we couldn't teach or show Levi nothin he hasn't seen or done before!
