Uncle Leo

My fishing partner and I caught N. Pike up to 28 inches on a UL Ice Fishing rod. It can be done.

That's just plain mean, thanks for the heads up.

I am on my way, can you put me on them? Wow great fish. We have smallies in the rivers down in Illinois but rarely will you ever hear about any that size.

I have one and it seems to be a good rod. My observations are that they are stiffer then most for the action as compared to say G Loomis so keep that in mind. Also the handles get can get a bit slick when wet, hopefully with use they will rough up. Other then that a good sensitive rod at a fair price. It also looks sweet with my Zillion Reel mounted on it.

X2, I agree

If it's not a soup bone who cares.

This not funny that hurts.

No idea what he said but a sweet realistic bait for sure.

Wow thanks Muddy, I have not heard this in a while. I was diggin it!!!!!!!!! Right on MAN

Baitcasting, I learned to fish with one and my lure placement is superior with it compared to spinning.

I own a Code and an Abu Garcia Pro Max which is similair to the S. For my money I would go with the S. Casts much better and seems better built to me.

Welcome Aboard Lee, I use to live in Aurora and was 10 minutes from the Fox. Use to fish it every evening. Now I live in Frankfort and consider Pondo my home lake. Fishing was good there this year, had 30 fish days and my laergest was 4lb 6oz there. If any of you N. Illinois guys Ice Fish there is a charity Ice Fishng Tourney every year. Its called Walk on Water, maybe we can get together there and represent BR.

Good luck Ike, stay positive and all will go well.

15 # CXX is great line and wil what I prefer. I also use 15# Big Game which is much cheaper.

T-Rigged Lizard. At least that is what I caught my top 5 bass on.

Never heard of her but sounds sweet. Still did not cheer me up enough though so I guess I'll go fishing.

It's called a burner

I believe it was in In-Fisherman that I read the darkness of the Bass is based on the Sunlight it recieves. This said the merkier the water+less light peneration the lighter the Bass. Much like a tan. Helps to identify the depth the Bass stage at also due to light penetration. The deeper they are the lighter they are.

No thanks I have my own.

I would also be open for a meet and greet, maybe we can plan our own tournament.

Muddy, don't sweat it. If you have a 4.0 GPA going in one class is not going to kill you. Focus on passing.

Divine Intervention? Welcome to a new start, always feels better to be yourself.

Thanks Tom, did not see this but we caught 29 on Saturday a bunch of shorties but about 6 keepers, crankbaits seemed to be the ticket. Manns -1. Sunday fished a half of day caught only 4 but all were keepers. Spinnersbaits seemed the ticket. I could not buy a bite on plastics. Tried T-rigged Brush Hogs and Senkos. Still had a great time.

Muddy, either you did not drink enough coffe or you are still sleeping. I would worry about that fuzz, are you sure you do not sleep walk and ended up somewhere that you do not want to admit. Either way go fishing the take your mind off these trival things. Maybe it the closing of Shea is bothering too much dude.

Great job, if that haircut had anything to do with it I am getting a Mohawk.
