Look into a college that offers degrees in conservation . Unity college in Maine graduates lots of wardens, marine and wildlife biologists etc. http://www.unity.edu/majors Rutger's university in NJ is another http://animalsciences.rutgers.edu There's probably one near you

I currently have a predator 13 and am thinking of getting an MK with the minn kota motor. But not sure if the motor lifts high enough to get into the weeds Dave

I'm retired now, so my week is 6 Saturdays followed by a Sunday. We moved upta camp about 2 weeks ago for the summer, so its fish, eat, sleep, repeat. Well there's a couple of chores thrown in the mix, but I try to keep those to a minimum.

I have the lowrance hook 4 with chirp. And if I were to get another one, I'd definitely get SI. Sonar and DI basically just shows me what's under me in a under 20' of water. A bigger screen end wouldn't hurt either.

In Maine you get the numbers yourselves.. I bought mine individually from Walmart. They only give you the registration sticker for the year. They have to be 3" reflective stickers. And place on both side of the bow. Maine inland fisheries webpage shows how they want it applied, I'd guess your state webpage would also.

What rod and reel do you use with the hudd 68 special. I see it's a 2 oz lure.

Just trying to help move the ice out.

I'm away at camp right now, but there's also some really good lakes in that area. Cobbosseecontee and Annabessacook lakes about 30 minutes east of Auburn are awesome

Small lakes in southern aroostook county are still 1/2 ice, but opening fast. Large chunks of ice floating past the camp.

It's already dropping. Though we're expecting rain tomorrow. Area flood warning goes thru mid week. My camp and the logging road i take there is high and dry, so a good pair of boots and I'm in my happy place

LOTS of small streams are now good sized lakes. This one is supposed to be the molunkus stream in Macwahoc Plantation

Seven Tree in Union is almost completely open. The boat launch is open. Sennebec is part open, with very thin black ice n the rest. Southern part of Togus is open. Been out on all 3, not much luck. I'm up at camp now ( just north of Lincoln) and the Penobscot, Piscataquis and mattawamkeag rivers are holy crap high and running hard.

Winter is when the bugs and other biting things die. Like snakes and alligators. It's one of the upsides

Yeah, we've been talking about doing the snow bird thing. We have friends in SC and MS that would love to show us around.

In a blatant disregard to her protection from abuse order, mother nature is ADDING ice to the lake upta camp.

No lake is much worse. At least with a frozen lake you can ice fish, or maybe take your car out for a "spin"

Cobbossecontee and damariscotta lake are still completely frozen over. I drove around lakes in the Lewiston and Wayne area, they were also frozen, though the kennebec and androscogin rivers were ice free. I see the warden service has extended ice fishing season to April 16th, so it's noit looking optimistic.

I'm thinking of getting a protection from abuse order against her. ?

Is there one where the transducer fits into the round scupper hole marked for it? I see it's made for the hummingbird, but then see they sell a mounting kit for it. Same with the lowrance. Is there a transducer that's round and fit in the hole directly? The lowrance mount seems to let the transducer hang lower then the kayak, which means it would get scrapped against rock, etc. TIA, Dave

Not sure about Cobbossecontee or damariscotta, but China lake and lake st George are still 98% ice i was out on Sennebec lake in Union yesterday. Its open at the entrance & exit to the st George river

Still frozen in the Augusta area.

It doeslookthe same, Just a few cosmetic differences I wonder if they're own by the same company. I know old town is now owned by some big company

It's an old town predator 13 kayak

Still managed to hook a 17" Bass
