  1. If that is normal then you better quit leaving the house.
  2. It is. They shocked up all of the walleye out of Stockton and moved them to Pomme. They released them at Bolivar Landing.
  3. Have you watched Gonzaga play this year?
  4. That is a good choice. I gave my daughter one for her 13th birthday. Her son grew up with it. It is now waiting on his daughters to get a little bigger.
  5. I agree with you. When I fish for them during the spawn I fish from 18 to 25 feet deep.
  6. I too am a chief, chief cook and bottle washer.
  7. I don’t know about a printer But there is a company in Springfield called Poly Fab which might be able to make him something.

    I'm late

    I will be surprised if everything isn't muddy with the rain that has been predicted.
  9. My 5 year old Optimas are starting to show signs of weakening. The Pro Guide 31 has the same warranty and a lot more RC. I haven't had a set of them since flooded cells a year ago. Who’s using them or have knowledge about them?
  10. I’ve had walleye several ways but smoked is my favorite.
  11. I normally use golf rain gloves. They are good down to the mid 30s for me. When it is colder than that I wear beaded Jersey gloves. I take more than one pair so I can put on dry ones if needed. I can feel with them and have a good grip on my rod handles.
  12. I’ll bet you were here when they dug James River.
  13. I am guessing that the current is stronger and more consistent in the white coming out of Beaver but that is just a guess.
  14. For years there have been walleye spawning along the rip rap at the Stockton dam. That is about as far from a stream migration as you can get but with southernly winds there is lots of wave action.
  15. I am going to be at Table Rock tomorrow. Sorry.
  16. Heck of a day there. I hope I can do half as well. Did you throw the Arig any? I am heading up James tomorrow morning and planning to use it some. I try to stay away from treble hook baits since a spot put a Zara Spook hook to the bone on one of my fingers a while back.
  17. It has a new home.
  18. West end of Republic.
  19. My Fishing Hot Spots topo west map shows the 20 miles like I thought down to Pt. 9 from Big M. The east map shows 19 miles on up to Cape Fair. Before the night time speed limit when you could run wot I used to put in at Cape Fair and motor to Baxter to fish. It was a ways but I could launch at Cape and get there a lot faster than driving around the road.
  20. I’ve done it. It is a hike. I believe that it is about 20 miles from Big M to the mouth of the James (Pt. 9). When you get there you are about half way. So how long depends on how fast you are running. I’ll see if I have a map that shows it.
  21. When I fillet whites, I only keep the part above the lateral line. The critters get the rest, which isn’t much meat. I am left with real nice white, tasty, fish sticks. Then I rinse them well and chill them until the meat is firm. Like Dadakota I use my old Rapala fillet knife and cut the red completely off. Then I rinse them well and put them in the refrigerator over night before eating or freezing them. That may sound a little over the top but to me the red is absolutely NASTY TASTING.
  22. 2 motorguide props. I used them on a TE 82. FREE!!!!!
  23. If we get very much rain, bank fishing won’t be much of an option in lots of places. It seems like high water is getting to be the spring time norm.
  24. I figure he does that in the woods.
