So who's got a hotel room and who has a cabin? I got a room.

To me it looks like a German short-haired pointer

You trying to give me a reason to come out there. ;D

That would be fun. ;D What kind of frog is that?

Sounds like 3 good firsts for me. That's awesome!

With that many pro women on the sidelines. Everybody should have known it wasn't going to take that long to get it up and running again. It was just a matter of time.

x2 Exactly what I would of said.

Thanks Alan. Pm sent.

Nice rifle Wayne, That's going to be really nice not dealing with primers any more. I buy a gun a year and That's going to be next years gun, A new muzzle loader with electric ignition. This year's gun for me was a new Remington 30-06.

If you don't plan on using your boat until spring. I'd take the batteries out and put them in the house. My batteries are usally plugged in all winter long and the boat's inside out of the cold.

Black skirts for morning and evening. White skirts for the daytime.

Wayne, I mostly fish with MH baitcasters rods. Although, At this point Wayne anything cheap. ;D

I just keep saying to myself " it's all my fault I should have known better to leave all my stuff in it." I was down in the boat again late last night because I couldn't sleep and I was sitting there thinking to myself "What rods and reels are missing" For the life of me I couldn't figure it out. The 3 reels that I have here are my Quantum Accurist and my 2 Shimano Citica's. There all on Shimano rods. What's the rest, I've beating myself up trying to figure it all out. My advice to you guys is write down all your rods and reels, You never know what's going to happen.

LOL, I was a couple months off. I even wrote it on the calender for March 2-7. This is even better I thought I was going to cancel the Roadtrip for myself, due to me going out and spending all my money I saved up for new rods.

Thanks for the offer Alan I really appreciate it, but I'll get by. Thank you though that's very kind. I'll find more out Monday, I hope they at least reimburse me for some of the rods. I know I'm not going to get what I paid for them but some money for them would be nice. The camera's he has isn't all that great, you can see what's going on but it's kinda blurry. (like a cheap baby cam quality) On a good note, I found my little cooler of JJ's magic. ;D It was in the back livewell. My boat's all wax up again and it's not coming back out until the Road Trip. Anybody know where I can get good deals on new or used rods and reels? ;D I'll start looking on the flea market.

Well, just got back a little bit ago. Here's how it went, I left this morning and as I jump in my wife's SUV I noticed my fishfinder on the passenger floor. (I must of taken it out yesterday when I left his shop.) To me this a good sign so I relaxed a little on the way. When I got there he had asked me if there was anything else besides my fishfinder was on the boat and I go on and tell him I got the fishfinder in my car. As we were talking I was walking towards the boat because at this point I just wanted to see what was missing. I got in the boat and was looking around. Luckily I locked my 2 tackle storage boxes, my storage lid (where my batteries and fuel tank are.) and my glovebox. They got all my rods but 3. (they were home) I got a new self inflating life vest when they went on sale at Cabela's at the end of the season. Never had one before, I always wanted one. I guess I can say now that I had one and like it. ;D They even took my JJ's Magic > I didn't have everything in the boat at the time so my 2 back storage boxes were empty (besides my life vest). But that's pretty much it from what I can tell. My mechanic is pretty good guy, he helps you out when he can and his rates are always good. He does have a fenced in area with camera's so he let me see how they ( 2 of them) jumped the fence and what they did. On tape it was all of about a min. they were in and out. One guy was in the boat the other was a look out. I seen him yanking on my rods to get them out and I think he broke one of them. That hurt > My mechanic is calling his insurance company about it on Monday and help if he can. But I know I'm screwed because he has a sign hanging up " Not Responsible for lost or stolen items." He's being sympathetic about it though, he didn't even charge me for looking over the boat until we get everything straightened out. I'm going to try and see if my insurance will cover it. He did agree to store it inside, as he always does to all of my boat's I had there. But he left early and he forgot to tell the other guy to put it back in. So it was a simple mistake that turned into me being screwed. I USALLY never have anything in the boat, but this time I left in a hurry to beat the snow and I just forgot. I don't know I guess I'll see on Monday. As of right now though I'm out 11 rods, my vest and my JJ's Thanks for the support guys, I'll be back on it a little bit. I just wanted to come on here and give an update. I'm going down to go through the boat and cleaning it all back up again. I was so mad when I got home I backed it back in and closed the door.

I was enjoying this morning on my recliner in my pj's while drinking coffee and bieng on here. I just got a phone call nobody's wants to hear. here's the story: A few days ago I got done detailing the boat from inside and out, so I figured let's get the motor checked out while my mechanic's slow and it will be cheaper on me. Well I dropped it off yesterday afternoon when the snow slowed down, I left the cover on so it wouldn't get filled with snow. The one thing I asked was that he leaves it in the shop overnight. Apparently he didn't listen. I got a call from him a couple mins ago saying when he pulled in to his shop this morning he noticed my cover had blown off. He went over there to fix it and noticed my fishfinder was missing. So I gotta leave in a min when he gets back. The thing that gets me the most is I didn't even lock any of the latches because I thought my boat was staying inside, So where's all my tackle and rods if my fishfinder is missing. The only thing is killing me I should have known better to leave my stuff in it especially unlocked. :-[ :-/ :'( Talk to you guys in a little.

If you can run it out on the lake then that's what I would do. If you can't then make sure you have ears to hook up to the garden hose before you start it. If you go to the lake, make sure your batteries are topped off or like the others have said it's not fun paddling a bass boat to the launch.

Nice fish.

Mike, that's just messed up. ;D Well 2 months to go, Who's getting excited? For me last year. The last 2 months that went quick, it was the last week until going was the killer for me.
