Since when does the algae affect eating the fish? We have lakes here with it and still eat the walleyes. We only stop fishing when the smell on the lake gets too bad to tolerate while fishing

You always gotta have a smart a$$ answer don't you

my front hallway needs painting........

I finally get to say it. It really doesn't matter to me. There is nobody here to fish all the spots anyway so we can mention them all we want As far as mentioning spots down there...hey, play with the lurkers. Send em to a different spot every weekend where the fish are hitting like crazy. PS...sounds like somebody mentioned your favorite secret spot

We hold Alabama intelligence in such high regard up here

I still do

lacking compared to what?

So you troll with a downrigger in 4' of water? How far back from the ball do you run it? sorry...but that made me laugh

So there's no specs there?

With those pulls It doesn't have much to do with anything but traction. I had a ford with a 5.4 and it had plenty of power. I now have a Tundra with a 5.7 There is a bit of a difference. I smoked a Vette last week.

the little 300hp rig eh hey Wayne...grease up them balls eh nice trick though...

You're right..thats the only way to look at it.

What do you consider especially difficult about it?

They just don't seem to understand that they are working for us and not the King. Compliance with the intent of the law should be what matters. It seems to me that they are out to make money off of the laws and not out to protect the best interest of the resource and the people. I don't expect any body to get away with illegal fishing or poaching, but come on. Like the post about 4 fish and 5 guys in a flyin camp being charged with unidentifiable fish. Sure, that is an infraction of a law, but, is it an infraction of the intent of the law? Just the opinion I have formed over the years.

From what I understand, they need a warrant to enter your home. Your camp, no, but your home...yes. The garbage would help him get the warrant

Thats a new one. years ago I was fishing with a friend. it was the end of the day and we had changed spots for one last shot at it. Holes were already drilled at this spot. He put down 3 lines. i shook my head. A couple sleds were coming. I said...hey, thats a game warden. he said...no its not. When we saw the orange stripe on green my buddy grabbed his line and broke it as the ski covered the hole. That warden was freaking. What are you doing with that line...what line? He calmed down after we mentioned some names he knew. It was close though.

That works for me..I have a 60.....Hey Sarah...dads coming for a visit. Do I head east or west from the launch?

I remember that post. I'm way back and they never come and visit me...LOL You never know when they are going to show up. They know how to sneak up on you with a helicopter. PS, put a rope between his truck and yours and you are towing him back. That makes it legal with no plates

So...if a guy was to hook up the boat and drive 4 1/2 hours to North Bay where his daughter lives, to go walleye fishing with her, would he launch downtown, or would he have to drive another hour after that to get to fish?

I go to a couple of woodworking forums...my other passion

Never tried one and don't plan to. Quite the waste of money in my opinion, but then I never tried one so what do I know. I also avoid Timmies coffee unless I have a long tiring drive to do. Country Style with cream and half a sugar.

No you didn't You authorized any charges for what you broke. He didn't break the cowling, so therefore didn't authorize the payment. I'm supposing he didn't mess with it, We still need to hear the answer to that question.

Thats covered in the boating exam right?

So...can we assume that "you're all wet" ?

Go out the back door of the hotel, 100' to the water. You never know what you will catch. Salmon and eyes all through there. You are also quite close to the rapids.
