Where do you mount the trolling motor?

Hello from a fellow Lebanite! Glad to see ya here.. Quick question: Where do you fish for walleye?

They do the same thing with vegetables.. Just cause it's bigger than a "natural" trout doesn't mean it's any easier to catch. JMO

It's a question that needs to be asked, but the answers probably won't be easy either.. Interesting article, gotta love who they took comments from.. The President and CEO of a local bank? Boy, am I glad to have the opinion of a local BANKER in matters of ecological importance.. I just wonder if that's him talking or his 43 foot Scarab with twin big blocks? Sorry, my sarcasm is probably misplaced..

Thank you, Tito, for giving me an idea for an adventure! And thanks to you and Oneshot for reminding me (a non hunter) that I need to be aware of hunters.. Good advice. Now.. Can I borrow your dog, Tito?

Indeed, agreed...

I got pictures to prove it.. He was using powerbait fed superworms with lazers attached to their heads.. On a treble hook to boot!

Thanks, Phil.. I don't like the lo-fi versions because it takes away so much of the functionality of the forum.. It's what I've alwas liked about my iPhone. The web browser actual Safari, rather than some cell phone version of the Internet.. I'll use the lo-fi for a while ad see if I can handle it. I have been regressing to lurker here recently anyway...

Interesting development! This new format looks cool enough, but it appears to be less compatible with my mac (iPhone) than the previous version.. I'll sit back and observe, hope this change does make the admin's job easier.. That's always good.

He caught them on Worms that have been fed powerbait.. Don't let him tell you it was a fly. I was watching. :wink:

Funny, I almost greeted the Gypsy with "Namaste", but thought better of it...

Welcome!

good points, man.. I catch and release mainly, and for every single one of these reasons (as do most of you) I would have kept the fish.

That's really all it comes down to, ain't it?

Well, yeah.. But it was a 2 pound Guppie!

It was a camel light filter that was permanently attached to the hook with 2 lb test and a few short and curlies.. Weighted with a rock with a hole in it. (I hate menthols! Who guessed that crap? lol) And fished from the end of my ding-a-ling.. (short rod technique, lol) still waiting for someone to comment on my noodling a largemouth.. (not bare hands as in no gloves but bare hands as in chased it through the rocks with a snorkel and swimming fins, grabbed him by his big ugly mouth and held on for dear life!) just teasin', I don't give a hoot about anyones respect.. Except at work

said in my last post that I "caught a trout on a cigarette butt".. And nobody has said nuttin! What's a guy gotta do to get a lil respect from you guys? How bout this.. I caught a 5 pound largemouth bass with my bare hands at the P-burg rock quarry when I was ten. WITH MY BARE HANDS! lol you guys are so funny, thanks for the laughs...

Maybe, with enough practice, I can be full of it too? Just maybe? :fingerscrossed:

I caught a trout on a cigarette butt once... I use bread sometimes.. But bobbers are for pansy's! lol and powerbait rulez! enjoyed the thread guys, thanks. Oh, and Eric: Quit being such a snob! lol

Well crap! (any if you ever catch yourself admitting to something stupid, but you do it anyway?) I caught and ate around 50 raw crawdads from a creek just outside of Lebanon. My reasons? 1. I was 11 and skipping school, so no venturing back into town (I didn't plan well) 2. I was extremely hungry 3. I had no access to fire 4. I didn't know I could get lung parasites. 5. I'm an idiot. So that was back in 1991, you guys think I should go get checked out? (Granted, I am a borderline hypochondriac, so I would be lying if I said I didn't immediately develop a realization of chronic labored breathing, a slight cough and fever the moment I read this.. lol)

"All I frickin asked for was frickin man eating sharks with frickin lazed beams attached to their foreheads.. And you bring me sea bass?" "Uh, yessir.. But they are mutant man eating sea bass...?" I betcha they work like a charm, Brian..

I echo the congratulatory sentiments that others have shared thusfar. May this child be blessed with happiness and fulfillment in all things!

Nice fish, thanks for the detail in the report.. :thumbsup:

The rapala one was okay, but I didn't like the fact that a major part of the game was memorizing what (Rapala) lures are best for which situations.. I guess I'm tryig to say I don't like the promotional side.. But I suppose without rapala backing it it wouldn't be that fun of a game.. lol I'll have to check out the others and see if there's any I like... I might try and get back to you if I remember...

Hope you had good luck!
