How bout build to suit. dchance has a lot on Pomme de Terre for sale.

Unless you go to Texas. There are several places where you have to buy a day pass eventhough you have a corps permit on the mirror. But wait is Texas even in this country.

My suggestion is take a look at the units and see what they can do as stand alone and decide for positive if or not you will be wanting to add something or network in the future. As far as I know the elite is a stand alone unit and can not be networked to anything else. The really good thing is it has the down scan which is the way of the future. I have down scan and use it instead of 2d sonar most of the time. However, I like to have both so I can see what differences there are in the screens. He hds unit is a 2d sonar with gps and has to have an lss1 unit added to it to make down scan but then you also get 2d sonar and side scan when the lss1 is added. I opted for the hds unit and saved my bones for the lss1 that way I feel I have the best of both worlds. Either will be a good unit it is just a matter of what you want to end up with and how much you want to spend. I recommend you think this thing through as I see so many guys who jump into a unit fish with it a few months and decide they made a mistake so the sell theirs for a considerable loss and go off to another one.

Title and registration are all you need. Your friends must have been talking about the launch pass which you have to have for most ramps on Corps of Engineers Lakes or pay a daily launch fee.

Go out right now and pour a bunch of salt around it. It will blend in with the snow and when the snow melts it will work down into the root system and kill the tree. Of course nothing will grow on that spot for a quarter century so your neighbor won't be able to get another one going in his lifetime.

Friday there were two boat trailers in the River Run lot. I didn't see the boats so I guess they were close to the dam area. The shoal below the bridge looks very shallow from the road. Being a warm sunny day there were about 20 on the BC lot.

I was down there today. The ice starts just above Cape Fair marina cove. Driving over the bridge it is still ice. Down from CF it is all clear even the coves were ice free and the water was in the low 40s.

Last I heard the water was hard but that has been a week.

The last time I talked to anyone about it I was told that Pflueger had the reel contract but I have never heard about their rods.

If you are going crappie fishing the State Park Marina cove has brush piles out past the docks on the right. You can fish them just not the docks themselves. And it being a state park there is no launch fee there either.

I have done it before and it seems like it is about 75 miles but I may be off.

The COE reported the surface temp at the day was 35° on Tuesday 2/25/2011.

I have had Gibbs in Republic do several vinyl jobs for me. Karen is not real fast but I have always been happy with the results and she is reasonable.

With a jon Aldrich will be a good place for you to go because of the skinny water. If the wind is blowing High Point can get rough but it is good fishing. If you don't have a map of the lake then pick one up. Walmart may have them if not next trip to Spfld stop at Bass Pro. Additionally, don't over look that fishy pond to the north. McCracken bridge is a great spot for launching smaller boats and can be a great place for lmb, smb, and crppie.

My wife looked into stone water cove but we could only afford one night. It was outrageously expensive. I'd call Babler.

I have both the Low and Nav cards. They offer different stuff for the fisherman. Nav has better contours but Low shows stump fields and is better with creek and river channels.

I am a Shimano fan but don't see the need in a high dollar reel. I have about 20 of them and the Stradic fi 2500 (I own 2) is as high dollar as I am willing to go. If I didn't have so many different rods with so many different applications I might buy the higher dollar ones but then again maybe not.

I started doing it several years ago. I have almost quit because I have caught lmb, spots, crappie, perch, cats, whites, drum and carp on it and not even one smallmouth. From the reading I have done over the years it seems that a cloudy day with spitting snow or rain is the time that they catch the big smallies. On those days I am not going.

UH not me. Still have ice on the drive.

Any of you guys who live down there. I'm wanting to get out and figure there will be less snow and ice than north. What is it like?

Jimmy I sent you a pm.

If this is an electronics learning trip, I recommend that you pick a brand and then pick a guide with the same mfg electronics as they don't function the same way. You won't learn much useful stuff buying HB and going out with a Low or vice versa.

The way the weather guessers are saying that boat is going to have a lot of buddies doing the same thing for several days.

I rely almost completely on my electronics. 99% of the fish that I have caught this fall and winter are due to finding them on the side and down scans. I would not want to be on the water without them but then I am not a bank beater either. My advice to you is hang on to your money until you have been in a boat with the new applications then make up you mind about how much you want to spend. I have been squeezing pennies out of dollars for 2 years and adding to my units. One more purchase and I'll have what I want.

They have bored the crap out of me and I am now on the puter with them sucking hind tit.
