  1. GRAB THE FRABIL!

     

    Had WFN on in the garage the other day for background noise when I was going through my fishing gear. Heard a guy say this, wasn't sure what he was going to do with the minnow bucket but looked up saw buddy reaching for the net and I just shook my head. Not sure what show it was but it is by far the worst of what I saw. Then came the Johnsonville Brats, what the hell does this have to do with fishing! "What kind of brats do you eat here in Indiana, Johnsonville!!! They're savory!" Are you kidding me... man. So I immediately went and picked up 17 packages of them!

  2. For this lake it is more a problem of aquatic weed dieing off and using all the dissolved oxygen in the decomposition process., As a child I use to swim across the lake for fun and if I needed to rest the weeds would hold you up there are so many of them. The majority of the lake is very shallow so the amount of dissolved oxygen is limited to begin with. All of the ice fishing (or most of ) takes place in one smalls section of the lake around the only deeper basin.

     

    Interesting... Guess it's just mother nature showing us who's boss, sucks.

  3. People actually care about baseball anymore? I would rather watch paint dry.

     

    That's what I say about curling but I know lots of people that love to watch curling. Baseball, curling, golf. They are all slower games but I'll watch golf or ball on TV. Baseball is the one sport that can be enjoyed on the radio too, you miss a lot of a hockey game through the radio.

  4. Unfortunately (if you're a leafs fan) or fortunately (if you cheer for any other team in the league) Clarkson is stuck on the leafs until at least the final year of his contract.

     

    The biggest problem is "Number 3". He wears that number because he knows that he is at best a number 3 D man on any good team in the league. He is great when he plays 15-18 minutes a game. When he is asked to play more he makes mental errors which end up in the back of the net, his own net. Like a few have said, he is not a leader, nor is anyone else on the team. When this guy is your number 1 defenceman, you're in trouble. In Calgary he was never asked to carry the puck as often or play big minutes like in TO. And like Clarkson, you leaf fans are stuck with him for the next 7 long years. Some cap comparables just for giggles are guys like Doughty, Weber, Karlsson, Pietrangelo, Suter, Kieth, Chara. Phaneuf's agent should win an award.

     

    Anyway, my 2 cents, not a leafs fan but don't hate them. Would have liked to see them make the playoffs to have another Canadian team in the mix but oh well, wouldn't want to screw up those tee times like they did last year.

  5. For a general purpose I would go 6'6" to 7' rod in a medium power. LeBaron has the Shimano Compre 6'6" Medium in a 2 piece for $110 or the Convergence 6'6" Med. for $80. Bring the reel to the store with you and try it on the rod to see which feels better. There are lots of options, the above two are just examples. Good luck!
