thanks wayne, I was gonna type the same great Atlantics Bucktail, ill agree im skeptical of this programme as well, sure hope it does succeed, hate to see it all be waste

drill tiny pinholes in your utillity tackle tray boxes

eat as many as you'd like!

1st book might be all you need Eh, it coveres all Dipys, Jets, and lead core dive curves i believe the 2nd book covers Walker Deeper divers, copper lines & snap weights, though i have yet to see the 2nd book personally....

i went in '05 great show indeed, and I am not even a huge hardcore musky guy i too wish it was scheduled earlier in winter... that is a prime weekend to be out for reel-peeling spring salmon

time & money are the two main things required to get in competitive fishing now it all depends too on what main species you wish to fish for and as well what kind of boat motor you have if you wanna just have some fun and not get totally serious then there are lots of low key derbys or one day tournies for many different species depending on the waterbodies tht are near you. For these a typical modest boat/motor would suit you well

fish are fish... geez no probelm at all as long as its all legal which it appears to be largies arent my preffered table species, but then again neither are muskie, but ive eaten them both legally....

I have herd great things about this show in years past... i'd definetly be there if I wasnt attending a Great Lakes fishing show in NY next weekend

right on Lew I guess you have secured a spot to keep it close to home after the trailer closes?

Lake Ont salmon & trout - 15 minutes from my driveway Lake Erie + Niagara River bass & 'eyes - 20-40 mins from my driveway that'll do!

a little Irish cream in my Thermos of coffee, when thats finished, a big bottle of ice water

Dominion of Canada year round for my 16.6 and 30hp

OVER!

get the Gold Chip as mentioned... yes it has St Clair please post a review of that GPS after you put some hrs on it... im interested as to how well they will perform thanks

Navionics, Vexilar, & Sub Troll sorry but the limited time i have out on the water i want to use it as efficiently as I can

kinda reminds of when George (Seinfeld) has his desk "modified"

maybe Josh at Angling Outfitters could help you? usually its best just to replace the blades as its difficult to get them perfectly sharp again... proper care and a little oil can surely prolong the life of original blades

nice fish bud - well earned for the time you put in there

thanks Ron (hope to see ya out there this year perhaps!) i never even registered mine last year...

hey Cliff winter weekend Nip Trips have allways been a favourite of mine though i dont think you ever attended.. i remember a few yrs ago there used to be an annual OFC Nip trip every January... not sure what happened.... nonetheless I hope your able to a get a crew together

for now I prefer the openess of a tiller - big open dance floor im a multi species guy who fishes different ways on different waters - the tiller allows me to be versatile

ive been running the 16' Crestliner Canadian tiller for 5 seasons now... (they make the same model in other lengths too) I am very happy with it I use it for trolling Lake Ont & Erie and am very comfortable in it. I also use it on smaller lakes & have no problem launching it off a beach The hull has a lifetime warranty & the 30hp 4stroke Johnson (tho its rated for 50hp max) pushes it at 30mph WOT.

good to see your still doing well Todd... maybe see ya out on Lake O this spring?

curious, what type (and pound test) of line were you running?

wow 3 in a row for the "other" California Kid im a huge Jimmy fan, but i do hope now that Jimmy & Jeff have had had there Glory, that its Jr's turn to finally be a serious threat still dont really get why they signed Martin... ive got nothing against the guy at all, but really does he actually think he really has a chance at winning a race or two, let alone making the chase? good thing about NASCAR though is the relatively short "off-season"
