They saw you and got scared. Maybe next time take a shower, get a hair cut, and put on your sunday best so you don't freak them out. It's tuff in clear shallow water. Lizards are a good bed bait.

Fixed that for you

Look up Capt. Ralph Steiger. He's one of the more well known Lake Michigan multi species guides around here.

Smoked for 20 years. I'm on year #12. Keep at it.

When it's choppy I like to throw a Jitterbug

lol

Yes

I was fishing the Chicago river with my son and a crazy guy, possibly homeless, began reinacting a police chase and shoot out where he was the perp. This went on for 15 minutes or so. It was like I was watching a movie. Was in San Diego when I was a teenager fishing a pier with my brother and father, A hot 20 something model approached us and gave my father her phone number. She had a skate in her hand and was looking for another one to complete her bikini top. "Call me if you catch one" I met the man who owns Lake Michigan. It's a long story but I quote: "You're fishing in my backyard! How would you like it if I boated in your backyard?!" I'm sure I'll think of some more

Looks like we in IL will be the test dummies for E-15 fuel. http://www.myjournalcourier.com/articles/drivers-39118-praised-e15.html They're going to offer it as an option first. LOL I find this hard to believe because I'd imagine the modifications the gas stations will have to endure ie additional storage tanks will be quite expensive. Most gas stations have 3 grades plus diesel. What will probably happen is they get rid of one grade for now and replace it with the E-15. until they have multiple octanes in E-15 form.

This thread http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/100541-theres-a-new-idiot-of-the-day-in-town/ Reminded me of this joke: What's the difference between a pregnant girl and a light bulb? You can unscrew a lightbulb.

Heard it wasn't bad, but nothing like the tv show.

My 21 yo son says American Reunion was good. 3 stooges commercials look good. The guy who plays Moe was on one of the late night talk shows this past week, and they played a clip. Looked like the Moe and Curly impressions were good. Not so much with Larry. Something about being filmed in color kind of takes something away from it for me.

I have to agree with ww2farmer. Spend the money on smething she can pamper herself with. I don't know whereabouts you live, but if you're near a large town or city, a spa day, or getting her hair and nails done, perfume or clothing will go alot farther than a combo. If you want to buy her a new combo, just do it. Don't make it a gift. Also while you're at it, appliances don't make good gifts either.

Bleach When my 50qt cooler smells like rotton fish I fill it with water and a cup of bleach and let it sit in the garage for 24-48 hours. Smells like clean laundry whin it's done LOL

It's my home lake(s). The Fox Chain is roughly 15 lakes with total acreage between 8-12,000 depending on what literature you read. Water level is extremely low right now, approx 18" which is alot for water with average depths of 4ft, making many areas hard to access, and dangerous if you don't know your.way around. As of last weekend they haven't put the navigational bouys in yet, but have closed the spillway at Stratton lock and dam. Supposed to get 1-3" of rain this weekend so that may help bring levels up. Water varies from clear to stained and temps have been in the high 40's-mid 50's. Northern lakes are deeper and clearer. Fish have been holding tight to boatlifts and docks in 2-4fow. Seawalls are also productive. If water levels rise fishing the reeds and timber will be productive in some of the creek channels. I primarily fish jigs and worms, all the regular colors. If you fish north, be prepared to hook into musky, maybe walleye, and big catfish. What brings you to IL? Just fishing for the hell of it or doing a tourney? Pm me for more specific info

Stay safe clayton.

There's your answer. Dumb question. Are you not allowed to fish alone? I fish buddy tourneys and can fish alone if the situation arises and the entry fee is paid in full. Find someone else. There are plenty of non boaters that would jump at the chance to fish. In my club we are allowed a non member substitute once. It screws up the points but it's better than getting no points.

Got locked in the back of my work van once. Child locks engaged and the wind blew the door shut. Had to unbolt the cage that separates the drivers area from the cargo area and climb thru to get out.

Wind, but I must say, I finished top 3 in (2) tourneys last year and both days wind was blowing 25-35

Definition: I was too lazy to wrap up and repackage last years christmas lights, so I figured "What the hell?" Come November, I'll be putting the boat away and pulling the christmas tree out of storage. It will work out perfectly, and the wife will never know. I asked you to PM me because, well...it's quite embarassing. Looks great.

Do they just survive on love?

Work it out with a pencil.

I drove by a Cash for Gold store on the way back from the lake yesterday. There was an older gentleman in a chicken costume out front trying to light a cigarette. Wish I had the camera.

I'm a fan of Yum Houdini Shad
