That's a definite for me but only if somebody will do that length plus girth thing for me...or we can just use scales.....and everybody knows what top water looks like.......don't they? Oh yeah I'm fishing Ma. Ct. and Vt. this year.....ok?

How about.....you just tell the truth.

Verrry interesting....

Rhino...hey Rhino...do you really care what anybody thinks? I bet the fellow you took fishing Sunday and the guy you will take fishing tomorrow both think you are ok.

Ok...now I'm getting dizzy...please go fishing...

I'm thinkin'....clear water-light line....fish are deep-lead head jig....smallmouth bass-3"-5" plastic....got it?

I bit on that worm 15 years ago and didn't see the hook until I got 4 cookbooks that I couldn't stop from coming. Not my cup of tea thanks.

Is there still ice in Illinois??? Stop this nonsense and go fishing.

Excellent report...looks like your crew has a handle on all the species...great safe fun...keep up the good work.

Or you could just break down and buy new shoelaces for the cost of the heat shrink... unless of course you're savin' up for your road trip...

Hmmm....not much sympathy from this crowd....by the way did ya learn anything?

Good job guys...hopefully next time...

Remember the part where I said I wasn't in total control of my life....Well I located the ramp just fine....The boat and all my equipment are running sweet....and then...and then....The phone call...My wife and I are babysitting until noon. You guys will be gone by then. Maybe next time.

I think I've been mistaken for someone who cares what other people think...

On the other hand...I've been using 2 St.Croix Triumphs with 2000GT Okuma reels for my main rods for 4 years...trouble free and very light with enough backbone to catch 3 20# carp.

So I finally found my way down there...interesting directions...very nice ramp and parking lot...lots of parking...unfortunately today there was a 20-30 mph wind blowing down the pond and I was by myself so I didn't get to put in...but...the trailer towed well...Hoping for a better Sunday.

Headed down there this morning...first time out this year with boat...need the practice...

Ok...but...Conn.out of state $55 and Vt.out of state $45 that's still a lot of money. I must say that it seems to this old man that Vermont is the best deal. Plus I'm a little biased by Champlain.

Welcome aboard....

Gonna shake down Thursday...I hope...and the rig looks like this...probably without the wife...but I don't do anything at 6am...

Thanks for the info...sick of fishing the same places over and over...south coast is sounding better... also want to try Herring Pond down by the canal...I'll let you know if I ever get it done.

I guess I'm confused about which side we're fishing Sunday and what time we start and are we still on?

Spent a little time around Bridgeton...Long Lake, Moose Pond, Highland Lake...take 202 out of Portland...Lots a motels and places ta eat up thea...fishin's pretty good too...

I lost my son last year............Awful............Prayers with the Family............

Although not totally in control of my life...April 10 seems to be shaping up for me as well.
