See if a local radio station has a schedule of events/local activities they announce. A couple in our area do and it is free.

Keep in touch. A new Bass Club is in the works. I also just got a hold of the open tournament list for the area. At this time I am looking for a non boater yet for two series.

Thats going to be a problem this year. Quite a few lakes in this area have ice on them yet. From Stone Lake to TFF. I imagine another week of warmer weather will fix that.

Thanks for the link, I saw that earlier. Sadly there are very few Bass Clubs in this area. They are of course full, the new tournament rules for WI this year helped that out. Seems to be a shortage of people who are passionate about bass fishing in this area too. At least by my experiences. 54 guys where I work and not one goes after the bass. I'm going to play it by ear this year, maybe find a non-boater and enter tournaments get to know some people in the area. Hopefully build a couple friendships or contacts for next year. Spend a little more time in my kayak, taking trips to new lakes, and going after Musky.

You don't wanna know....

Actually if you season right before you grill that is what you are doing bringing the moisture out of the meat to the surface. Thats why I said dry the meat well. So you dont steam it. Initially the salt brings out moisture, in turn the salt dissolves into the water and returns to the cut. Hence making it tender. We can hash this all day....But I'm sure I'm correct on this, because I have prepared and eaten many steaks this way. To each his own, but never knock it until you tried it twice.

That is a recipe for a dry piece of meat. Actually quite the opposite. Buy a cheap steak and try it. Oh and read up on osmosis... We ain't makin' jerky here boy ;D

Yeah, I have an older model BPS Extreme Woo Daves signature worm rod with 6 inches broken off and retipped at 6 feet, the cork has been sanded down to nothing, and I'm sure the guide inserts are ready to pop out any second now. $475 shipped in a fun-noodle. ;D Wish you had 2 of those....It's just not worth paying the shipping for one

Kick *ss ! Nothing better than the first boat. That thing will take you right to 'em. Congratulations and Good Luck

I would say from the ages of 6-10 spending every chance I could fishing with my grandfather. He taught me the how, when, where and why's of fishing without any fancy gear. Keeping it simple and learning alot.

It helps more than you know, I was going to buy a Nikon D40x this month, but for under 300 bucks I think I will give that a go. Appreciate the heads up. Sure is nothing better than those pelican cases. Nice set up Chris! HERO! Pop this into favs for future reference.

WHAT NO KETCHUP?? ;D But seriously you want a juicy steak COAT it like a salt lick in sea salt for 1 hour. Rinse and pat dry really really well. Then throw that bad boy on the grill. Amazing

I second that. those are some great looking fish and some Beautiful photos. Outstanding! Out of curiosity do you use a DSLR camera?

I tried the power prop for Minn Kota. I didn't notice a difference. I wouldn't spend the money. The Drive pin kits are nice and it is a simple fix, I carry one on my boat (prop too) after having a fishing weekend shortened due to an overzealous fishing partner.

Google has a nice little " product search results " anytime I see something posted in a forum I would be interested in I do my research. Google it, check BPS, check Cabelas, h*ll check Walmart if you have to. Sellers and/or buyers may not be aware the item they are selling is discounted somewhere. So a PM to a seller or buyer is a great idea, I'm sure the price would be adjusted. Do your homework folks. I would like to think most fishermen/women are being as honest as possible, just uninformed or unaware the item can be gotten cheaper new. See I have this sickness that won't let me part with any fishing gear, but it allows me to buy everything I think I need....or is that want? ;D : ;D Good topic to be discussed. P.S. Got anything for sale? haha
