  1. Both. They have been actively stocking walleye ever since the back flush disaster of the 80's when dump truck loads of them were killed. And natural reproduction occurs in the tributary's during springs when they DON'T keep the lake as low for as long as they have the last 2 years. Ameren has screwed that up twice in a row now, so 2 year classes of natural spawners are lost.
  2. Yeah I reckon. But if 15' was as shallow as fish could be caught I wouldn't enjoy fishing near as much as I do.
  3. This afternoon I'll be asked what I want for dinner, and I'm gonna say that blanched beans and polenta sounds really good, just to see the puzzled stare that'll follow. You can always tell when a hillbilly has been jacking around on the internet.
  4. Seriously though, I haven't seen anyone's catch rate increase noticeably since spending the time/money to drastically upgrade their sonar systems.
  5. I don't get serious about river smallies until wet-wading is comfortable. Me and the crazy pup are looking forward to it though.
  6. I have installed a bunch of killer sonar systems but I'm personally still using plain old LCR's, and oddly enough I catch a shitload of fish. I think I gave 110 bucks for mine several years ago. Are y'all sure you need those things ?
  7. I did all/most of my Tye Flying over the Winter. No time to fly any now, and if I give them away I'll be screwed when I go Tye-Fly Fishing.
  8. Every meal you prepare has an ingredient I've never heard of before. WTF are Kalamata olives ???? WTH is Polenta? And how do you "blanch" a bean ? Sure I could Google it, but it's more fun to make you explain
  9. You can't ignore Joe cuz every so often he'll throw out a gut-buster, and you don't wanna miss it.
  10. Wintertime pretty much demands suspending jerkbaits, but the old Rapala floater produces almost all year.
  11. Never understood the popularity of that skit. Guess I wasn't stoned enough.
  12. The Turkey farm lake, and Ashland lake are both managed as a "trophy bluegill" fishery. Ashland has Redears...big ones. The Finger lakes pits are kinda so-so, the pH used to be bad back in the 80's-90's (highly alkaline).
  13. Along with the current 3year sticker that you got when you registered it.
  14. The wrist loop trick really isn't advisable. If you are going to do THAT then it's best to buy/make a Velcro bracelet for the lanyard. Depending on the angle of pull, a simple loop will slide right off your wrist.
  15. Max weight capacity= 380lbs. for a 1036 Jon boat. (That is persons/motor/gear)
  16. Deer and ground squirrels seem to be able to sniff them out.
  17. Ha! Agents must be napping, or too busy running plates to be sure nobody is behind on child support.
  18. He got thrown out, and didn't have his lanyard attached. Just cuz you have a badge doesn't mean your not a dumbass.
  19. We had a Water Patrol Donzi doing unmanned 35mph circles with the patrolman in the water last year. A drunk dude pulled off a Bo Duke and saved the day. Somehow that incident failed to make the news anywhere. At least the buzzed savior didn't get arrested for BUI. I dig the kill switch lanyards out of the upholstery and fasten them to the steering wheel of every boat I work on, as a subtle reminder... but it probably doesn't work.
  20. Water level SHOULD be on a steady rise for the next few weeks. I doubt you'll find any actual consistent bedding activity until it stabilizes. Should be a lot of fish shallow and waiting though.
  21. Did they get Wal-mart dropped in the process ?
  22. I'll spare you the bother and take your word for it since math and carpentry are my two weakest areas.
  23. Looks like a lot of freakin' work to ME. I just asked Sugarbritches how much we spend on lettuce in a year....she estimates about 40-50 bucks. I see a 300.00 operation there, BH. And that ain't counting labor or wear/tear. You're upside down !
  24. All you guys have to do when your ol'lady's get all bent about your outboard repair bills is remind them how many purses and shoes they've bought in the last couple years.....then get out the calculator. That usually calms them right down.
