awesome report thanks for posting , just updating my a calander with opening day info ...May seems so far away TB

Glad to hear things are on the upswing feeling good is half the battle TB

nice report guys , some pretty fish and even nicer gear ! Keep em comin! TB

Take it as a compliment ! Not bashing you guys. Also similar to fishing big water alone ( Gbay ,which I do ) PFD stays on , destination and return times confirmed , weather forecasts checked , Cell phone charged ( Marine radio is planned for this year) GPS , etc. But still a risk , just try and eliminate the things you can. TB

awesome job guys , great pics. don"t want to jump on the bandwagon but put some serious thought to at the very least PFDS worn properly. At 50 plus trips you may be pushing the odds. Floater suits less thna $200 ! And it appears there are some people that care about you . Now get back out there and catch some more fish for us that don't have fortitude to do it ! LOL TB

BLJC just landed contract with TD Waterhouse . They are in process of hiring ..not sure re ME tech positions TB

Our Lund 1775 Classic came with a mooring cover .Useless to trailer with , but keeps things covered in the driveway. Bought a cover from Wallmart last year on sale for $79. Works great , trailered to dryden and back last year .Bit of fussing with the straps and tiedowns but ..cost effective . More money to spend of Muskie lures! TB

hey pick me up at the Starbucks in the south end and I'll be your auger man ! Have fun and look forward to an awesome report. TB

You can do both you know ! Thanks for posting . TB

Quite the adventure guys. My back is sore just looking at that stuck sled ! Some real pretty pictures too. TB

Once a year ,maybe. and then only few hundred feet out ,where mutiple vehicles have been travelling . Don't be like the guy last year who drove his shiney new Ford out to where we were fishing ,THEN asked 'how thick is the ice ?" TB

don't buy lottery tickets been in a casino ( slots) only once and don't plan to return. Don't even play Roll up the Rim God ,I sound DULL!! tb

Glad you enjoyed it Donated by: Franklin Empire Inc ( Lighting and electrical wholesaler) TB

Love the second photo ' who the heck are you!' LOL Congrats TB

Lot of info , but not sure there is an answer See following cut/paste. For more information on ethanol-blend fuels and outboard motors, check the "FAQ" section on the Yamaha website www.yamaha-motor.com; or the Service and Warranty section of the Mercury Marine website at www.mercurymarine.com. TB

good question lew I 'm curious as well as I have heard the same . TB

I don't care what the answer is .... Just glad to be here TB

My Condolences Jacques.Thoughts and Prayers are with you . Dave

and thanks again for that tip Cudz

Don't question that , some beauties as well. I guess I was trying to be funny , its the 'young' Terry I was referring to !LOL TB

Some young lookin 'fish' there TB

Never have tried to get a 'sale' item , just lazy I guess , but have picked up some deals when I see those red/orange tags Kinda like how I pick my wine , $1 off or Air Miles LOL The $20 quantum rods i picked up a couple weeks back made me happy I am looking for a reel for that ST Croix Lite rod I won at Tylers event , maybe go for a drive tomorrow! TB

they won't even let me do that !LOL tb

Nah we are just jealous of those who have a skill and can actually make things ! TB

Having an ice season is the real problem .Releasing in open water would be a lot different ( better!) than trying to release a fish that size down a 9" hole ! tb
