You have the shakes there Paul? Too long without a boat can do that to a feller........You planning to be set up with a new ride before Lakair?

Thanks Zib, I can't wait either.

Welcome aboard Hairwig.......you will need to explain that handle over a beer some day! Nice catch.

We're really pumped for it too Cliff. Worst part is I have to work 3 days before we head out. Looking forward to fishing again with you too. Barbara promised to have us at the Fifth Wheel by 7.00am Friday morn'. I am excited about trying Marc's method for Walleye and Sauger. See you soon Bud.

Happy Birthday Hon.........Have a wonderful day.

Good luck, let us know how you make out.

Welcome aboard by the way!

Wasn't aware that pike were there in any quantity. I knew that there were some in Dwight Bay especially over near the river mouth. I have had lots of success with decent size smallies but don't fish lake trout other than through the ice. I will talk to my cousin who lives on the bay and get back to you. I have some friends who have a place on Pancake Island I will see what they have to say as well.

Nice job bud. However, if you had done things right.......... first you buy a bigger plane and then adapt the Lund............

You guy's crack me up!....

Terrific report, thanks for sharing.

Have a great one Lew. Hope you all have a wondeful summer. Enjoy the boat and we will see you in June..

Not an expert, but have seen many of them go through the auctions. Looks like it has been refinished which will detract from the price. I have seen them sell for as little as $75.00 and as much as $200 depending on the crowd.

Looks great Lew. I know you guys will have a great time this summer.

You don't have rights and freedoms to put other peoples lives in danger.

Nobody's telling you to go ahead and do anything. You chose to take someones words and manipulate them to suit your argument.

Interesting how we got from drinking and driving to cracked out hookers in no time......

You can not legislate responsibility or common sense. However we can pass your so called stupid laws that try to stop those who continue to put the lives of others at risk.

Thank you for everything you have said on this thread. Those of you that criticize either our drinking and driving laws or the men and women who are charged with enforcing them should give your head a shake! They should be considerably tougher similar to European laws. Unless you have seen first hand the carnage that the drunk, inebriated, intoxicated, (choose your own word), cause on our roads each and every day you are kidding yourselves and are in denial. Unfortunately, I have. I don't necessarily support MADD, nor do I particularly like what they have become. HOWEVER, I have a wonderful wife, a son and a daughter, along with 5 grandchildren that share the roads each and every day with those who believe that they can have a few drinks and then drive to wherever they are going. I for one will continue to call 911 and report those who I suspect may be driving while intoxicated. I may make some mistakes, but hopefully one time I will manage to get an idiot off of our roads, (however temporarily it may be). If you think that the current limits for blood alcohol are too tough, consider this. I was at a party had enough to drink that I was told that I was slurring my words and blew under .05! By the way, this test was at the party and the person who administered the breathalizer was experienced with the process.

Buy it or not, it still goes on to a lesser extent today. Especially in the small chalk streams. A little more finesse is required than noodling though...

Thanks douG.........didn't want to have the birds and the bees talk...........

A little like noodling only you get to keep your fingers longer..........and the fine is pretty steep, at least where I come from.

Thanks for sharing Holdfast, great photos.

John & Barbara....we will be there
