Happy birthday, have a good day and catch a few fish Art

The best beer is "all yall's beer" It is any beer allyall are offering me from your cooler. If allyall's beer is not around then a very cold corona is a good choice. Art

nice boat you all..... and nicer friend It's why he is an honorary Cajun that and he eats the same stuff we do off the side of the road. Art

Some times the right thing is the hardest route. Thanks for taking it for your friend I have been down the road and cried every time from the pain of doing the right thing. Art

get the tiny tach it helps you return to the speed you are trolling at. It logs the hours you have run the motor for maintenance. It will let you know when your motor is not running at the correct rpms at WOT. I have been running one on all of my boats since 96 and been very happy. The unit has only one wire that you wrap around the plug wire and the other side goes to a ground. The tini tach has its own battery inside and my oldest one that I still own is 5 years and still going. http://www.tinytach.com/tinytach/index.php Art

" After taking your medication for awhile you might feel that you are better and decide to stop. Remember the medication was prescribed by your physician for you to take until he has evaluated your condition and only he can recommend when and if your dosage needs to be changed." (Jan 2007 pamphlet for lithium users to control schizophrenia) I sometimes play a DR on T.V......Art

At least we know he made it back and i guess we can Assume he caught so many fish that he is wornout and cant type??? Art

Well that just sucks Dawg it is one thing to spend money on a new shiney lure but to replace a major part of the boat just sucks. Art

Sweat.....drink......sweat ......drink man how can you not love it when it gets hot. We hit the river and fished and floated in innertubes then back up in the boat for more fishin. Can I get an Amen from the Southern continguency?? Art

Check out Roys link they are alot of great lodges that advertise on OFC because of the quality of the places and the dedication to the fisherman we have found them to be the best. Art

You will get a variety of answers but the best place to look is in the owners manual it will tell you exactly how much you can tow. If you do not know exactly how to install the hitch take it to a professional before you damage the car or lose a trailer on the road. Art

hey that looks like the one that was stolen from my neighbors house last week. Is their a table in it with captain chairs and some kind of a light inside? Nice van glad you got a campin boat pulling rig now. Art

Go ahead and get one Dawg.......I know you want one........come on it will feel good in your hand....... you will catch more fish...... it's only a little more than the last rod you bought..... wimmin will think you are sexy if you get it......you can brag to the Art how nice it is and he will get one..... Oppps guess I showed my hand. I would like to get one but I think I want to hold one in my hand before I splurge on that puppy. Art

Hat's off to the lodge owner/friends Kevin and Leslie who own LAK AIR LODGE . The effort and the time they spend on their guests are not thanked often enough. I hope the rest of the year brings you the profit and happiness that you all deserve. Thanks Art

Seem to be nice and warm here........Come to the dark side Luke. Art

Name brand...high wattage and a GREAT antenna. The hand held units are more for near shore fishing trips but even the best unit is less effective than a no name short antenna boat mounted unit. I have over a 9 ft antenna base unit on the big boat just in case I need help on the water. Art

Nice film TJ their is one slip in it at 12:23 you can see the divers reflection as he was hooking the fish on your line. Art

have a good time with the 3 weeks and the visiters bud you deserve a break. Art

Muskie steaked and grilled with butter and onions over an open flame. O wait I havent caught a muskie yet so I guess it is Catfish fried with hush puppies and sweet potato fries...... Art

St croix are very nice but G loomis are even nicer. I have fished both and if you are looking for a casting rod I say put the money into the rod that feels great in your hand no matter what the price is. Then match it to the best reel you want until the combo feels like it is part of your arm. While you have spent more money in reality you have saved yourself alot of money because you will not use it for awhile and then buy another combo to replace it with. I have over 35 combos in the garage from ultra lights to saltwater rods and all of them feel just right in my hands or are set up as trolling rods and the few ones that did not live up to MY expectations were given to a friend or the local kids to start them on the road to fishing. Art

thats a big golffish bud Art

the board is a little squirrelly and seems to be doubling up on the posts. Art

Don't let them get you down bud SCARS are cool and the more fun you had getting them the more they are worth. Man the joys of riding a bike without a helmet or playing ro sham bo with out a cup are gone now with the over protective scar preventing measures that the parents are taking just make me sick. So go out and get a few new scars before you get old and have to pay for them... make sure they show so people will ask how they happened and you can tell them about the 5 guys that jumped you and one of them pulled a knife on yaa....... but you should have seen them when you were done. Tattoo's and piercings HA they aint so tough they were planned pain and a little bit of ink. They don't hold a candle to 15 stitches in the old brain bucket or getting that fingertip sewn back on that will never get the feeling back so you can stick pins in it without flinching. That my friend is nothing short of great entertainment. I guess alls I am saying is I hope you hand heals quickly be careful but still have fun. Art

Good job on the canoe it will open some of the best fishin you will see sometimes. Their is nothing like a canoe when the weather is hot because I spend more time in the water than in the canoe. Art

My brothers mother in law travels to England to visit family and to hear the stories of people TRYING to fish is outrageous but don't even think about Hunting . If you decide to come visit this side of the pond give us a little time and we can hook you up with a dream fishing vacation from the top of Canada's wilds to the depths of the Southerns Mason Dixie line. Thanks for taking the time for the reports we sometimes forget how fortunate we are with the wilderness we have and we take it for granite. Art
