Linguini with shrimp, fresh tomato, shallots and herbs.

On my favorite movie list!

One pot comfort meal tonight. A chicken version of Mexican Surprise..

Chicken thigh braise tonight.

Say it, brother!

Sailboats, rowboats, kayaks, and canoes are all legal. A wise person will choose where to use the last three very carefully as the proportion of wake boats and drunk boats is scary high during some times of the year.

The ramp is an unimproved ramp used by the locals. It is not a corps ramp and there is no swim beach.

I know that location well and can see how two boats running at speed could suddenly be on each other right there at the ramp.

Yes, he is rather opinionated.

I tend to agree, wrench. My little rig at WOT and trimmed hits 37 mph. 5000 rpm equates to 30 mph. That meant I could easily fish TR as far down stream as Emerald Beach and upstream as far as 62 bridge. Unless you are fishing for a living, why would you need anything faster? Even for them, if a max hp limit is in place for all competitors, why does that number need to be 300? Bill changes his launch point to adjust and save time and money. The rest of us should learn to do the same. Do not get me wrong, a collision at 45 will still kill people but 45 allows more reaction time and better surviving odds. Just my two cents.

Order Penzy's Italian dressing base. Use it with Red wine or white wine vinegar and olive oil per jar instructions then adjust to taste. Problem solved and really tasty.

This confused me? The only oil within standard Mediterranean diet plans is olive oil.

Yikes! I have seen a fiberglass boat dumped off the trailer. It was somewhere around 1964 and it was my father's boat. That did not end well. By the way have you ever seen someone with a puce face?

Big M and going upstream: There are always fish somewhere on the Devils Backbone. The first 200 yards of Owl Creek and Panther Creek and the long runouts between the two. The flat at the mouth of the Roaring River always has fish on it somewhere; also try the deep docks and the point of the first big U turn; try a Ned between the docks in the branch off to the right as well. There will be fish on the steep side opposite Fletchers Devils Dive resort. That will be a very full day.

Yes. They work too. The random flutter of the spoon on drop seems to be a bit better. However a Silverbuddy working down a point in the fall is killer.

Good for you. It is vertical jigging time, although I tend to use spoons. I am surprised at the depth you had success. From mid August through to October, I never could find them anywhere but near the thermocline or suspended in timber.

Yes, I use a very big net. It makes me feel powerful,.

This time of year, unless you fish at dusk or dawn, I suggest you fish just above the thermocline. Walleye stay close to the bottom or suspended in trees. Finding them with sonar rarely happens.

Trolling has always been a good way for me to learn a lake. Sometimes I catch nice walleyes that way. The lake was 78 degrees surface temp, calm, and almost completely empty of boats. Trolled for about three hours. The new Force tm does a great job. The fist several runs, I ran the bait at 15' in 15 to 20' of water. After that I switched to 20' and ran it in 20 to 25' of water. What fish I marked were deeper, between 25 and 30 feet, and singles. The fist hit was strong and the fish immediately started to take line. I tried to pretend it was a large hybrid bass or a record walleye, but I suspected the truth. I finally landed this ugly gent. Just under 10 pounds. That was the last hit as well.

My birthday dinner. Seared swordfish with a mango salsa and a twice baked potato. Nancy made Boston cream pie for the dessert.

Appetizer tonight.

Trust me, try it.

Real maple syrup in Grade A form cannot be beat. I use it a a sweetener in BBQ sauce, marinades, and salad dressings.

I love that story, even though the first time I heard it had a donkey and a fan and wound up with a line about a piece of posterior.
