I did not know Chick has stripers, it is definitely a good black bass fishery - at least from what I've read.

But the stripers in this neck of the woods are introduced right? They can reproduce in some of the local rivers, but their forefathers were stocked. Of course, all of our impoundments are man-made also and contain species that aren't native besides the stripers. I'm trying to think of a lake that has stripers and is considered to be a good LMB lake also. Might help the stripers are good argument to point out some lakes that have stripers and thriving black bass populations. Grand is an interesting one to think about, it does not have stripers, but has a kazillion white bass and some hybrids, which consume shad, but the black bass do quite well in that lake. But then again, Grand is much more fertile, than say, Beaver, so that's another thing to consider.

I knew it was a ground problem (not) - glad to see you got it fixed.

What Davis did was fish it successfully in the spring and use a different bait than a creature. I'd venture to say that most of us who have been fishing the wobble head have viewed it as a post-spawn presentation with a creature/beaver type plastic on it. I'm finding out (and so is everybody else) that you can throw just about any plastic on it and catch fish. Another tool for the toolbox.

Costa Rica beat Italy - didn't see that coming. England has been eliminated which is also surprising.

I could see Scherzer pitching for the Royals, he is a Missouri boy. The way the Red Sox are playing, they might try and move Lester, looks like he'll be a free agent after this year, hate to see him go, but he wants big money.

I've caught them as far down river as point 23 while bass fishing. Might not be as many walleye as you work your way down river, but there's less pressure on the walleyes that swim in that area.

If I was going to fish walleye I'd want your rig. I try and stay out of these "What's the best motor/boat/rod/reel/line" discussions because they tend to go sideways pretty quickly.

Nice!

If you know how to properly use a voltmeter it won't come back to bite you. You'll be chasing your tail on the recommendations about grounding that I've seen so far - identify the problem using the right tools and go from there.

I'd break out the volt meter and start working back from the truck. Focus on one light, disconnect the others, find a good ground for one lead of the voltmeter and see if you have voltage on the one trailer light you have hooked up.

Yeah cole slaw on BBQ sandwiches, brings back some family memories.

Man you're right, that is one huge plus about this area, no stinking skeeters.

Altidore is reported to be out for Sunday's match against Portugal. Who is favored in the US vs Portugal match?

I'm not a soccer fan, but this is fun to watch, well some of the games are. I sure as heck don't watch them all.

Well they finally got beat yesterday, but overall, taking 3 out of 4 from Detroit in Detroit is not bad. Anibal Sanchez kept them baffled yesterday. Sanchez is a pretty good pitcher that flies under the radar with Verlander and Scherzer on that staff.

Without the cold and ice..

Thanks for the report, always good to see folks get into fish. Walleye and smallmouth - it's beginning to feel like Minnesota around here.

Adios Espana.

Yeah as far as I can tell, he didn't name it after himself. Others have done that for him. I doubt that he gets a buck every time someone says "Ned Rig", well at least not from me - maybe some of you guys are sending him money.

You're doing good, I don't have any tomatoes that are even close yet.

Pretty amazing streak.

Sad deal.

You are the walleye whisperer!
