Jokes - Let's Have Some Fun
On their wedding night, the young bride Approached her new husband and asked For $20.00 for their first lovemaking Encounter. In his highly aroused state, Her husband readily agreed. This scenario was repeated each time they made Love, for more than 40 years, with him thinking that it was a Cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that She needed. Arriving home around noon one day, she was Surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state. During the next few minutes, he explained that His employer was going through a process of corporate Downsizing, and he had been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find Another position that paid anywhere near what He'd been earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined. Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which Showed more than forty years of steady deposits and interest totaling Nearly $1 million. Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued By the bank which was worth over $2 million, And informed him that they Were one of the largest depositors in the bank. She explained that for more than Three decades she had 'charged' him for sex, These holdings had multiplied and these were the Results of her savings and investments. Faced with evidence of cash and investments Worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded he could Barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out, 'If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!' That's when she shot him.

Lake Wisconsin Columbia County
Looking for some multi species info for Lake Wisconsin in Columbia County. Heading up this weekend and planning on fishing the lake and river to the Dells if possible. Looking to get on some crappies, eyes, and whites, as well as bass. If anyone can tell me where to or not to fish or any other tips, I'd appreciate it.

Hand Held Gps - What Ya Think???
I'd be curious if you can share waypoints between a handheld and fixed mount with an sd card. I've heard of guys marking spots during soft water and going back during hardwater and vice versa. ChicagoEd, I think I know you from another site. Check your PMs

Bunk Sliks And Riveted Boat
That is correct Northern IL doesn't allow us the opportunity. Not enough water and too many boating restrictions.

Where are all the Illinois Guys ?
Hit Lake Michigan this morning. First time with the new boat on the big pond. I'd like to thank all the weathermen who incorrectly forecasted W @ 7mph all day. Water SHOULD have been like glass on the Chicago lakefront. My son and I launched at 6am out of Diversey Harbor and winds were blowing WNW. By 8am were straight out of the north and shortly thereafter NE @ 12-15mph. That may not sound like a lot but those winds have been blowing from waaayyyy across the big pond. I couldn't guess the size of the swells but we'd go up and see the sky, and down we'd see the water with no sky. Nothing's better then riding over a crest and there is no water beneath you so the boat just drops in the air until it hits the surface. The Lund and the Merc handled well. I couldn't go faster than 20mph with 10mph being ideal. We did get wet, but it could have been worse. We even caught a few smallies. Camera died but nothing really to speak of. Biggest around 2lbs. EDIT I forgot. I got to put my graphs thru their paces today. My home lake(s) are big soup bowls void of any offshore structure aside from a few fish cribs. I really had a chance to put the SI, DI, and 2d thru their paces today. I didn't get any screenshots, but I was able to match images on the DI with the 2d. Using the SI, I was able to differentiate rocks jetting off seawalls vs seawalls void of any rocks or structure. Located baitfish, navigated to a waypoint I set (a shipwreck)with the help of Lakemaster, and with the DI saw the mechanicals of the locks as we locked thru from the lake to the Chicago River. Good stuff! Wish I had a 1198 instead of the 998.

Practice loading and unloading with the trailer in different depths. Find the sweet spot and you won't need to add anything to the trailer. The tops of the fenders just above water is a good starting point.

What To Do Now..................

Anyone Purchased From Thedigitaloasis.com Before?
Talk to UM Maybe they can work something out. their CS is real good. I had a problem with paypal when buying my first graph. They got their end of it straightened up while I was on the phone with them and had the unit shipped out the same day. It then took paypal 2 weeks to straighten out their end.

The .454 recoil will knock her on her azz If she insists on a handgun, may I suggest a Judge with .410/.45 colt. The 45 has plenty of power without the recoil of the .454

Are the bass still up shallow, or are they suspending? I've heard reports they are still shallow in Delevan.

You've got me in the mood to light some candles, grab a glass of wine, put on some Kenny G, and get in a bubble bath.

It's been a tradition of mine and my sons for quite some time. Before every trip to the Chain we stop off at Thornton's in Volo and he buys chocolate longjons for breakfast.
