Time it right in April and you can do very well. Its a very hit and miss with the crappies but that is one of the better shoreplaces for them.

Jealous...... snowing....miserable.......

Dont want to sound like a pessimist but I bought a Quantum PTI Titanium about 8 years ago and the side plate fell off in a cast and landed in the lake.

230 bucks down the toilet. I tried to get service and was answered with a hotmail account....seriously.

Just Curado's from now on. At least I know what i am getting. Maybe try a quantum spinning reel.

In the infamous words of John Wayne...... This is starting to get regoddamdiculus!!!!!

Your turning into Mr Brown!!! Sadly I am still Mr Pink!

Nice going Pete.

Is it just me or is it the lighting. That one fish looks like a buck brown!

KVD finished 3rd.

Looks like he will be tough again this year!

Looks like a slow start for everyone today.

Anyones tourney who can find a biting school of female prespawn fish.

Ill take one of each, I know a guy who is on the list for a Challenger, going tohave to take that puppy out for a spin. 500hp I think with the limited edition motor!

Dude that's hardcore!!!! I assume you had to drag the boat across the beach since everything is frozen.

Thumbs up!

Wish I could make it....goood luck everyone and have fun and take lots of pictures!

Man a look at the weather today for day one sure made it "work" for thses guys. 2 celcius and pouring rain.

Kevin Van Dam is up near the top again. Man I would like to pick his brain sometime!

Some big names already virtually eliminated already!

This year is a leap year so we get an extra day in February.

One question...... WHO WAS THE TOOL THAT PICKED FEBRUARY!!!!!!

Couldnt have stuck it on July or Septmeber but the worst month of the year. I am sick of Febrauary already!

MY rant is over now back to the hockey game.

So jealous!!!

So I guess she isnt married to Fish Fishburn?

Some good deals but the thing I noticed was not a single shimano product on sale!!!

Whats up with that?

I was reading the fine print and it seems the 50 dollar Shimano rebate is only good in the states.

Since the dollars are the same I wonder why it doesnt include Canada.

Bummer!!!!

If you are in 20 feet of water or less most fish will not show up on sonar. Instead of thinking of it as a " fish Finder" think of it as a structure locator it will help you identify weeds, drop offs, schoals and other structure fish hang out around.

One important thing to do is to turn the fish ID off and learn to interpret the signals as the are displayed on the screen. That way you will learn the difference between weeds, fish and structure.

Lowrance has an excellent emulator on there site that will help you interpert sonar signals and displays.

IT's greed and nothing more.

Since we are all wasting time for another 6 weeks till old man winter at least takes a break I was wondering what everyones goals were for 2008.

Other then getting out more do you have a specific goal or personal best.

I have had a few good years and my PB list is getting tougher and tougher but I think it will be a 20lb Brown or 55 inch muskie.

That and finding new places on Gbay
