Tubes, but they made the choice.

TJ started it! Ford are for people that can`t spell Chevrolet. Seriously? haven`t turned a wrench in some years, and rarely on a Ford.

I guess that would depend on your expectations? Take a look at the Lunge Lodge`s photo pages, there are fish there?

If bass keeps showing it`s anglers pulling bass off of spawning beds carp might be all that are left? Heck anyone that catches carp is a friend of mine! use a gorge hook.

And you can buy or prescription drugs cheaper than we can! On the bright side? we pay about half what they pay in Europe for gas.

Friends used to go to Monroe Michigan and fish the hot water discharge area for bass in the winter, it worked.

A buddy fished a spring tournament at Kentucky lake in his newer 40k Triton, hit two logs. Broke the transom, turned the lower unit on his 225 merc. Insurance covered it, dude what are you doing trying to run around a lake after the winter melt at 70-80 miles an hour? Most of us didn`t do much more than laugh at him, lucky you didn`t kill your stupid self?

There is something inherently wrong with a system of government that allows the richest 2 or 3 percent of the population to control the lives of the other 97-98 percent? Kings and queens with a different title, they still believe they are royalty. What is good for them is all that counts.

Most lures are designed to catch fishermen, some may catch fish?

A brand new Dodge Tradesman van cost me 3100 bucks out the door in 1973, a brand new 3 bedroom, bath and a half home 28,900 in 1975. A brand new 1979 Plymouth Volare, 4500 bucks in 1979.

They sell just what you need in some places down here... JOLT COLA Jolt Cola; "Twice the sugar and twice the caffeine." [12 fl. oz/354 mL]

We call that white stuff snow down here, it has to be cold for it to appear.

Dang! you even get custom prices!

I think it kind of sad, as a kid Abu reels were considered the best out there, I don`t personally know any one that buys them now. I haven`t bought a new Abu reel since the 80`s.

Yes, maybe the best ever, very consistent, always a threat.

The principal is actually pretty simple, you can`t continue to spend and cut your income (taxes) at the same time and expect your debt to go down? None of our elected leaders seem to understand it? Hail to the chief?

Congrats John! I got number 4 Friday, another one without a crank. Not that it matters much to me.

It`s all really a matter of personal preference, you don`t have to break the bank to get a decent outfit. Take a look at ebay as an alternative, an older model Shimano Curado 200-201 can be had for around 100 bucks in very good condition. It is suitable for good sized fish, if you are casting a larger bait a 5 to 1 reel might be your best bet? Slap it on a medium heavy flipping rod and you are in fairly good shape for all but the largest of pike and ski`s?

Always liked Chautauqua Lake as close as you could get to Canada with out traveling as far.

Snow? it`s all gone here in the tropics!

Your water is what we are really after! perhaps some oil sands for a beach? Canadian Bacon?
