A little off subject. But I go diving on occasion in a quarry in Mermett Springs ILL. They have these massive albino catfish that will suck one hotdog after another right out of your hand. Kind of fun.
I feel you Brad. I don't usually do as well as some of these guys. Try as I might. I really work hard on trying to educate myself, but for some reason, I just don't have those days that create a story. But like you, I absolutely love it. And will continue to trudge the road to happy fishing. Keep on plugging buddy. Mike
MrGiggles, I don't know a good one from a bad one. But I had ordered a Pro Mariner Sport dual bank charger a while back. After 8 months it kind of went crazy and quit charging. I called Pro Mariner. First of all a person answered the phone. Which threw me off for a few seconds. It was still under warranty so I was waiting for the reason why they wouldn't honor it. That didn't happen. They were professional, Polite, and to the point. We tried a couple of simple things and decided it was shot for what ever reason. They sent me a new one. Which I got in a couple of days. Didn't even want the bad one sent back. I couldn't believe the level of customer care. It was like living in the sixties. I would buy another one for no other reason than there customer support.
Wednesday I went into Maze creek. Not far from the main lake. Fished a little brush pile. Caught 18 shorts and one 14 inch. It was fun but didn't really put any fish in the fryer. Using minnows in 24 FOW bites coming in the 15 FOW of water area.
I was thinking that in today's social environment a middle aged white male was the most despised animal in this country. After reading these post. I believe the common carp still has me beat. lol
YEA CARP!!!
Thanks straw hat. Yea I had a slow day today. Lost a real nice one at boat. Was kind of day dreaming while working a jig when he hit. I knew I didn't have a good hook set on him. But it was my first day retirement!!! I was thrilled to have had the opportunity to lose him. lol
