The custodians are in for the 1st week & are willing to help, I'll be filling in on the weekends & the 2nd week of the break, the eggs aren't all absorbed yet but I think we'll be feeding by Sunday or Monday, they are trying to swim off the bottom & I guess that's when you start feeding Richard

These fishies are getting a little bigger & are moving a lot more, going to be starting to feed them soon Richard

I have a buddy that was looking for one but he's in Teeswater would that be delivered lol Richard

Done, nice video hope you win Richard

A few years ago a couple of buddies & I were looking to buy a suit & most people we talked to said if it's cold enough to wear a survival suit, 1/2 a suit won't do & I like my back warm, I would think there's a better chance of air getting in My 2 cents Richard

85 is way too hot for this time of year, but Trout & Bass fishing sure sounds good, keep the Reports coming Richard

OK, I'll admit it I've been voting & didn't read the whole essay, but now I have & I'm still voting, best of luck to you Mackenzie Richard

About an 1" of wet & heavy snow here, not going far today, maybe back to the coffee shop, drive careful out there boys & girls Richard

My Camera ate the tape when I was trying to down load it so I had to splice it loosing most of the Aquarium footage but the class has been busy doing research & Decorating Enjoy Richard

I don't go for super deals because there usually aren't many if any at any of the shows any more, but I like the seminars at all of them, I've been involved with the Kids Archery booth, OBF Casting Kids booth, Bruce Leeson's Casting booth at the Sportsman Show for many years, took Boy Scouts there for years when I was a Leader lots of variety for them, more recently I've been helping with the CBAF Booth at the Spring Fishing Show the last 2 years & BPS Spring Classic CBAF Booth last year, its great to meet all the people that come by & talk to them about fishing, my Daughter loves the Sportsman Show even at 25 & my Grand Daughter was 3 last year & really enjoyed the Sportsman Show, I had her there for most of the day, I didn't like the North & South Building split, just to far away My 2 Cents Richard

Very Nice :thumbsup_anim: Richard

I already mentioned a tour of either Hatchery, could likely be made to the Teacher & she seems keen but Students have to be moved by Bus so she is hoping they could arrange a few stops on there trip, maybe wrap it in with delivering the salmon to the River in April Richard

Here is a 49 second look at the fry hatched & swimming sort of, they lost 4 eggs before the hatch but after that everyone has survived Enjoy Richard

WOW, I guess he'll have a few friends thinking about going fishing with you Congrats to you both Richard

#441 5th spot, 625 is leading, good luck Richard

Another nice bunch of fish, love those Browns Richard

That 1st Picture is really cool, some nice look'n Steel there Richard

Man Steve you out did your self, some real hawgs on there & good numbers of them too, always look forward to your Reports Thanx for sharing Richard

Every day for 4 weeks do you need a 1st Mate, Congrats on the PB Richard

That 1st picture sure makes it look chilly, we waited for the afternoon heat before we headed out Richard

OK yesterday we thought it was a fluke Darcy catching his Rainbow on a Tube, then Randy & I go out today, water is a lot better we can see bottom in about 6' to 7' & there is shad every were 4" to 18 or 20", Bass are like balloons & they are not interested in a drop shot with Slammers, Zeros, Gulp Minnows or finesse worms, Randy gets one Smallie on a Tube so we stick with that, drifting the channel casting up & bringing it back to the boat, at the boat we brought it in & cast again, I bring the tube back bouncing on the bottom watching for it to come back & half way up we see this Rainbow coming straight up after it I drop the tube back down, the Rainbow does a big roll & back down not seeing my tube I set the hook & the fight was on, I won the battle, a nice 29 1/2 " 8.7 lbs, about an hour later Randy says fish on & it's another Rainbow on a tube, I grab the cradle & it takes another run Randy tightened up his drag & away it went, Randy loses, he's still not sure why he tightened his drag but it cost him the fish. Not very successful end of the season Bass trip but we are happy we caught a couple of Rainbows maybe my fishing isn't done for the year yet Richard

Water was dirty, 61.5 degrees and fishing was slow, tried swimbaits, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, drop shot and then we caught 4 Smallies on tubes 2 lbs maybe, Darcy felt something set the hook and foul hooked a gizzard shad in the back fin some how, drifting in the faster outflow & Darcy's rod jumped, set the hook, says fish on get the net it's a good one & as I turned around I see this 24" 5.5lb Rainbow on a Chompers Tube sprayed with Garlic, a real nice end to his season he doesn't think he'll get out again, I'm heading back out today, see what we can catch.

Sorry to hear that, hope it was insured Richard

Nice fat hawg, hope our day tomorrow is half as good, Lake Huron here we come, hopefully Richard

Haven't watched the show for years, won't miss it Richard
