Please?

He's referring to women living 7 years longer than men. Average for men is 70...women it's 77.... Guess what I'm doing on my 70th birthday? :-)

But being a Cajun...the name ain't right without the cedilla...as in "Melançon". I've never used their services but they are very well known here and I've never heard bad news about them. Have a great trip.

It's a good tough reel. Not much can go wrong with it. It'll cast a mile. Is it the red one or?

And a darned good one at that!

I would go with Chevy 4X4 and Slowpoke. Make sure they wear sunglasses and a suit.

That's our very own Nautifish!!!

My Gawd, you did good Dan! Great pics...thank you!

I have a bimini on mine. My bro in law has been making them for years...check him out...tell him I sent ya. http://www.gmitopdesign.com/f-english.html

Hey Mike, why don't you try Long Sault? Good place, great fishing.

I use an old 4L YJ...did the 2" spring thing last year...looking at lockers now.

Some of the leading baits in the world are jerkbaits...the Bomber Long A, the original floating Rapala etc...I guess it comes down to confidence. This link might help you. http://www.bassdozer.com/articles/crawford/jerkbait.shtml

If I knew that by tying on a white spinnerbait I'd have a "WHAM, FISH ON!" I don't know whether I'd bother trying to learn how to use a bait that I had less confidence in. What do you think?

Good luck to you Dan, and as Lew said, it's going to be way too cloudy here too. But then, with YOU taking the pics, there's not much sense in anyone else trying. :-)

I've been to Shannon several times. Want lotsa walleye, that's a good place to go. If I remember correctly, the last time I was there it cost me $309.00 for four days. Pretty dang reasonable and the fishing was excellent.

We had a Shell refinery close down here recently. They're using that as the reason for tight supplies. Yeah....right...I like my Jeep and my cars but I could still manage quite well without them. Shut'em down...Let's see who lasts the longest.

I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this worthy cause. The folks who donated and the folks who bid are just awesome. I will have a report as to what was gathered for Tyler sometime this evening. Thank you again, everyone. The threads will stay up for a while yet to give a chance to folks to see how it worked out. Thank you....sincerely.

C'mon folks...15 MINUTES left...BID HARD!

Time to make the doughnuts.... This was to be a thread about cougars. Instead, we've learned that everyone has the right to his/her opinion. This is really working out well. Next topic?

I'd guess that you'd be better off doing it before....

When you posted that, 53 members dropped off the board for a coupla minutes....

Would it have been too much freakin' trouble to pickup a phone and call your Bubba, Bubba??? eh?
