I wouldn't have thought I'd hook into a trout in 8 FOW last week while bass fishing. I'd say go for it, ya never know.

Why would the officer not show up?

Must have been the goose poop.

I thought the article suggested it was the slimes fault. I've yet to see a pickup slide down a ramp under normal conditions.

What's a bait bucket? Lol

I wonder if Chrysler will buy that Ram.

Box and maybe the steering.

The government bailout was only back in 2009 and it was predicted that taxpayers lost 3.5 billion when the smoke cleared. Now the parent company for Chrysler posted a 101 million dollar 1st quarter net profit and has 20 billion in cash and securities? That's a substantial rebound.

Too bad you weren't closer, I'd share it with you. 3 years is too long to go without strawberry rhubarb.

I don't know that area so I won't be much help...but welcome and good luck.

Sounds like i went two weeks too early!! zippo, nada, zilch lol

I decided to break away from the main course cooking and try something new. I figured, hey I love pie so... Strawberry rhubarb And an Apple for the OFC family LOL can't let the pastry go to waste!

I'd say catching those jumbos sounds like it was a blast. You just never know eh Brian?

Had another eventful outing on the Upper today. I was out with my son and we were working a weed line about 20 ft off the shoreline. I was working a white spinnerbait up tight to shore and ripping it out over the weeds. Right at the weedline, I'd let it flutter at the edge, trying to entice a bass or musky to smash it. My son was throwing a big tandem blade for musky...the Upper has a very health musky population. The surface temp was in the low 70's which is about right for this time of year. On one cast, as the spinnerbait broke over the weed edge, it got hammered. The fish went deep instantly and headed for deeper water. Not a bass, I thought. As it went deep under the boat I got a glimpse of its grey/white colouring. Sheephead! I said to my son. No need to get the net. Well up it came, and we watched as a 5-6 lb rainbow launched itself out of the water, banged off the tunnel, and disappeared. It left me with a perfectly straightened spinnerbait and a stunned look. I still don't know why that fish was there. I'll always be disappointed I didn't land a rainbow, in a bass boat, on a spinnerbait, largie fishing!?!?

Pretty sure my old dentist had a few.

When I read that I thought it was a joke. Are they finally serious about fixing this team? These guys aren't the type to go "kill time" somewhere. Good news. Good people attract good people.

There is a lot of truth in that post. Thank you.

I've been stopped on the U.S. side a number of times. Fishing licence and safety equipment is all they look at. Never asked for a passport yet and it's been never suggested I should be calling or checking in. The only suggestion I ever got from a U.S. Marshall was "try over by the old crane, I did good there last week"!

Anyone know how it works in areas with slot limits? Keeping the skin on is a must but a filet does verify length. Just curious.

It's sometimes really easy to take written comments the wrong way. With no tone or facial expressions, it's dead easy to come across as being rude. Sometimes you have to give people the benefit of doubt. Or, pull out the big guns and verbally crucify them!! Lol Monday and Tuesday you can say what you want because we got out fishing and there's the afterglow effect. Wednesday and Thursday you better be careful...the "I need to fish or kill someone" has kicked in. Friday is 50/50 between those who are going to fish and those volentold to the honey do list.

if you're using it on lake with normal amounts of weeds, a tip to find rock piles, logs, and brush piles is to go out shortly after ice out and scan. Don't wait until fishing season and the weeds to grow. That clean bottom with give up all the lake bed structure which you can waypoint easily. I've done it and it's neat going back to a thick summer time weed bed and know there's rock rubble under all that green.

Don't rule out mono for frog fishing. You may want to go up in weight but mono sinks MUCH slower than florocarbon and the added stretch will benefit your hook set issue. Braid has so little stretch you can pull the bait out of the strike zone with no effort.

5 days in a cooler? I don't like keeping cooked fish in a frig for 5 days.

Hold your rod at the 10 - 11 o'clock position as you work the bait towards you. This will handcuff you so you cannot set the hook from that position. It forces you to drop your rod tip and reel in the slack for a proper hook set. This is the time it takes for the fish to turn with the bait. Your hook ups will increase dramatically. Always have a plastic bait rigged and ready to pitch in on the misses.

LMAO!! Hey congrats on the good news!!
