My condolences Tinman. Jim

My Dad used to do that Glen when I was a kid and it used to scare the poop out of me

The pike up there are an absolutely beautiful color. Excellent report Drew. You certainly have the talent on the ice and behind the keyboard. Congrats. Jim

Always been a big fan of Toshiba Bernie. I've got one set that is almost 20 years old still going strong so I bought another Toshiba 27" flat panel LCD. Love it.

Looks like a great night. Lots of goodies

Glen, the video link doesn't seem to be working for some reason Yeah, it's true. It's alright, I'll take one in the butt for a fish like that anytime.

Thought I'd throw up a soft water report to get the spring juices flowing For the third year in a row, the family and I spent a week down in Tennessee for the March Break. This year Corey and I were fortunate to get out with a couple of guys (Mike and Erik) I had met through one of the boards down there for a day of Muskie and Striper Fishing. Got out on the water around 7:30, and it was around 45 outside. Erik had just picked up his new boat. A River Pro. For those that havent seen one here's what they can do...incredible Some pics of the ride for the day... Corey ducking out of the morning chill going close to 55 mph... About an hour into it, we had a striper hit and we missed it, we were trolling using planner boards. Things quieted down so we went into a little bay and tried it for some MUSKIES IN MARCH. I had a follow from a mid 30's 'ski on a TEP spinner bait. It was sure nice throwing the big baits again... Then lunch time went to Mc.D's then tried another river, we saw some fish that I'm sure were close to fifty pounds in about 2 feet of water. just couldn't get 'em to hit. So we went back to the lake that we started at, soon enough we had a hit. MISS, went back around BANG!!! FISH ON, here is the video of a bit of the fight and me getting a sledge in the arse trying to get some of the other lines in. The agreement was Corey would get the shot at the first rod going off and he did very well A 22 pound Striper One from the cell phone Not five minutes later going back around the same spot had another one hit, felt the weight grabbed the rod and gone . A beautiful fishing day in Tennessee, we saw our first striper, made a couple of great friends and best of all we got to fish in T SHIRTS... But sadly that day had to come to an end... Hope you enjoyed, Jim

Great report Mike. That's a beauty pike !!! Gotta love those jigging raps eh !!

Guess I missed the video Joey. Congrats on a great day. You guys had some great company Terry LOL

We'll say a couple of prayers tonight.

A great read Bernie. It looks great.

Good stuff !! I've had good luck with those Frenzy Baits.

Jamie, you're gonna need to get a bigger white bucket

Nice post Rich. Congrats on the new pup.

Great report Pete. Glad to see you and your brother got out !!!

I've got one Rich. One season with it so far and no complaints.

Excellent report Wayne. Good crew with you. Was that laker a PB ?

Yep, we use em when camping all the time. As Lew says spray them with Pam before use. We make pizza pockets, apple pies, breakfast sandwiches, grilled cheese.....

Good stuff guys !!! Thanks for the report.

Yep, I'm off Lew. As Skeeter said, my work just deducted one of our floater days. I don't care, it's nice being off with the family. Kind of a lazy weekend had a fish fry last night and the 4 of us are going bowling in a few minutes.

Looks good Don.

HEY ROCKY....
