ICE JIG=RETURNED TO LAKE=NEITHER OF US KEEP THEM OVER 25 INCHES

last i saw him he was working in sporting goods in wal-mart berryville

BILL=DENNIS PROBABLY STILL HAS THAT STUFF IF YOU WANT IT

DENNIS HAS BEEN RETIRED OVER 20 YEARS LIKE ME=NEVER WORKED AROUND HERE=WE HAVE BEEN FISHING TOGETHER FOR 18 YEARS AND COMPARING INFO=HE IS NOT SOCIAL =WILL CONVERSE BUT NOT INITIATE=GREAT FISHERMAN

MORE INFO ABOUT RAMP JUNK AT H EVERYONE USING THAT RAMP CAN THANK DENNIS SHORB WHO LIVES NEAR THERE=HE PICKED UP 6.23 LB OF JUNK twinkletoes DOCK BUILDERS LEFT THERE=DENNIS FISHES OUT OF A 2008 WHITE STRATAS WITH 200 HP MERC=SAY THANKS IF YOU SEE HIM=IT WAS 32 DEGREES WHEN HE DID IT== DENNIS WOULD NEVER SAY ANYTHING =HE CALLED ME BECAUSE WE BOTH LAUNCH THERE

Dock builders at H Ramp dumped metal junk, screws, nails, & etc on ramp especially left side farthest from the dock. Has caused several flats. Be careful stay close to dock.

i also believed morris shut down legend ive always had rangers til i bought a skeeter fx 225 a month ago=i ruled out all boats johnny morris had anything to do with. ranger no longer has customer service. skeeter is much better built. i broke light weight axle on last two rangers. this trailer is much heavier constructed . ride is dry and smooth . like it so far.. ive had 5 other yamahas. four of which have been four strokes. i have not had hummingbirds before as this boat has. I really like them. many features i like. You can check their website for details. i have not had it long enough to be an expert . But so far so good and service beats the tar out of the Ranger of today

i know their are many honest people .the bad ones get the press.another guy reported finding and attempting to return rods and reels in this forum i believe almost all of our forum fisherman would have done the same thing dennis did but it's still worth reporting i did it out of respect for dennis as i know he would not make a big deal of it

Dennis does not participate in this forum, nor does he use a computer. But he fishes 7 days a week. Many of you have seen him in his 19' Stratos with a 200 horse merc He only puts in at Viola and H highway. Tuesday he went to pick up 2 beer cans on the H parking lot and saw a billfold. It had $278.00 in it plus the usual credit cards dennis left word on the guys answering machine and he picked it up the next day he offered dennis a reward but he refused nope not too many like dennis

dennis does not read this forum or operate a computer but he fishes 7 days a week..many of you see him in a 19 ft stratas with a 200 hp merc..he only puts in at viola or h highway tuesday he went to pick up 2 beer cana discarded on the h ramp parking lot when he found a billfold it contained 278 dollars and the usual credit cards dennis left a message on the guys answering machine and he retrieved it the next day he offered dennis a reward but he refused not too many like dennis

all i did was post an article about dead fish and the same negative guys turn it into an argument over loz i never mentioned that lake also babler asked if i was in a boat and i was but he walked the bank for his observations i seldom post but i don't pay attention to the usual negative guys i read what the normal usual positive contributors have to say

My wife and I in the boat amongst the dead fish almost all walleye all sizes, no trout that we saw. So many the whole area smelled of rotting fish.

hundreds of dead walleye few bass and carp eagle rock bridge to as far as i could see up river. few dead up lake but not as many yet. saw this on kings a few years ago. been here 14 years and never seen it.

BOUGHT A NEW RANGER 2 WEEKS AGO EVEN THO I HAVE A 20 YEAR OLD ONE WITH A 2 YEAR OLD OPTI MAX ON IT..I PUT THAT NEW MOTOR ON IT WITH THE IDEA OF KEEPING IT. SPENT OVER 18,000.00 ON IT SINCE 2010. BUT WHEN MORRIS BOUGHT RANGER I DECIDED TO BUY ONE BEFORE HE COULD RUIN THE COMPANY. WHICH I AM SURE HE WILL.MADE MY FIRST TRIP TO RANGER FACTORY AND WAS IMPRESSED BY ALL THE PEOPLE WORKING THERE..L[KE THE SERVICE AND ATTITUDES OF BPS EMPLOYEES THIS WILL CHANGE. I HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY IN OLD BOAT BUT I QUESS I WILL CUT MY LOSSES AND SELL IT TV TOM

I AM NOT SURE I BELIEVE STORIES OF BOATERS BOTHERING KAYAKERS=IT MUST BE EXAGGERATED IF TRUE AT ALL=AS FAR AS THAT HIGH SCHOOL TOURNAMENT ,IT IS TRUE . MY WIFE AND I WERE BEHIND OUR HOME AT THE MOUTH OF ROARING RIVER IN A DENSE FOG..WE DUCKED BEHIND A DOCK AS 9 ADULT DRIVEN BOATS SPED UP THE RIVER ..THEY DID NOT SEE US..WE HEARD THEM ALL THE WAY AS WE ARE LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE MARINA THEY LAUNCHED AT..I TALKED TO ONE SKEETER BOAT LATER AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS THE DRIVER AND WENT WHERE KIDS WANTED AND HAD NO IMPUT IN THEIR FISHING..IT WAS DANGEROUS AND A POOR EXAMPLE

no excuse for keeping bass unless you don't like to fish

i talked to old fella as he moved boat to lift. he hit a stump the night before when he leaned down to pick up a dropped pack og cigarettes.the danger of second hand smoke

NO COMPARISON-I HAVE HAD MG TIL MY LIFT ASSIST FORTREX 3 YEARS AGO=WILL NEVER OWN ANYTHING ELSE=STILL HAVE A GREAT 12 VOLT EVINRUDE ON SMALLER OLD BOAT-IT IS SMOOTH AND QUIET=I HAVE HELPED THE BUTTON ON WRONG SIDE PROBLEM BY SECURING A PIECE OF THIN WOOD USED TO STIR PAINT WITH THE HANDYMAN'S FRIEND=DUCT TAPE=FROM THE BUTTON ON LEFT TO RIGHT SIDE OF FOOT PEDAL=THIS WAY I CAN PRESS DOWN ANYWHERE ON PEDAL=DUE TO HIP REPLACEMENT I HAVE TO USE LEFT FOOT ON PEDAL SO NEEDED TO GET AWAY FROM LEFT BUTTON PLACEMENT ON FOTREX=THIS WORKED FOR ME

TO RPS=YES=A 1995 RANGER WALLEYE BOAT=YOU KNOW ME

YEP THAT'S ME=SAME BOAT BUT PUT NEW 150 HP OPTI MAX ON IT=ONLY BEEN ABLE TO USE IT TWICE DUE TO WEATHER
